    You can make it longer, adding more passenger space.

    A bus that long wouldn’t be able to make many turns except at the largest of intersections. Probably safer too since there’s less dependence on the driver being good. They just need to know when to speed up and hit the brakes.

      Articulated buses can make tight turns and electronic guideways mean the driver doesn’t have to steer either. I guess this might be a method of making turns across roadways for curb guided buses, but this doesn’t appear to be a guideway bus. It also doesn’t look like it could go over a bump.
