In 2010 , the government of the Republic of Macedonia ordered 202 double-decker buses from the Chinese manufacturer Yutong , two of which were cabriolet buses with removable roofs to be used by tourists , and the remaining 200 as city buses for the capital city of Skopje . The buses were to be in a " retro " style , similar to Routemasters . Former London double-deckers were used in Skopje until the 1963 Skopje earthquake in which 75 % – 80 % of the city 's infrastructure was destroyed
