Bendy buses - why?


What exactly is the advantage of a bendy bus over a double decker? As an engineering solution the double decker looks better - smaller footprint, simpler mechanism and so on - so why has it been abandoned in favour of the elongated single deck bus? Just curious, that's all.

That's true. They are annoying long. They have a lot of them in Manhatten. I suppose they might be safer on turns. They have a lower center of gravity.
