We have bendy buses in Sydney too - and yes, they are ridiculous. They hog road space while carrying fewer people than some double decker buses. There is a trial on now of returning double decker buses to the streets of Sydney and if successful, we'll be going the same way as London and replacing the bendy bus.

@grassytramtracks2 жыл бұрын
Bendy buses carry significantly more ppl than double deckers and the extra space they take up per person is miniscule, a dbl decker carries about 80 or 90, whereas a bendy bus carries about 130 to 160 (they have fewer seats, but much more standing space because on a double decker, the stairs take up a lot of space and you can't stand on the top level) besides, you can't criticize ANY bus for hogging up road space - cars are the most insane waste of space you could imagine in a city

You may wish to hold off on calling something stupid unless you know what you're talking about. An articulated Mercedes-Benz Citaro G holds 40 sitting and 117 standing (157 people in total)[1]. A Wright Eclipse Gemini, the sort of double decker you see in London nowadays, holds 66 sitting and 27 standing. (93 people in total)[2]. So an articulated holds about 1.5 times as many passengers as a double-decker. It loads faster (because people are closer to the doors), and costs less to run (lower labour and maintenance costs), and uses road space nearly as efficiently.

A bendy bus certainly doesn't carry the same, a bendy bus carries far more and the turning circle is about the same as a regular bus
