Roughly every ten years, Dublin Bus tries a few articulated buses, which then get stuck on roundabouts, reminding Dublin Bus why it abandoned them last time. Eventually this is forgotten, and they try again.
Really the great advantage of double deckers is precisely that they work where articulated buses don’t; otherwise they’re far too much trouble and you’d never use them.
- dahauns 1y agoYeah, it's definitely not a straightforward "just do it" with articulated buses - they have done careful modifications here along the planned routes (e.g. redesigned corners/crossings to avoid too tight radii, removed parking spots to allow for longer bus stops in narrow streets etc). Vienna's not that roundabout-heavy though, I can see where those (at least small, tight ones) would be the end boss for an articulated bus. :)
