Wow so Long! Bi-articulated buses in Bogota, Colombia 2023 (Three piece!)
These are 80 ft buses
Common bi-articulated buses resemble rail vehicles in design. They often have elevated train-type doors instead of traditional bus doors to use dedicated stations. Payment is typically made at a bus station using a fare gate rather than on the bus.
Compared to using multiple smaller buses on a route, challenges using a bi-articulated bus include:
difficulties maneuvering in traffic
an increased turning radius
the need to have extended length station platforms
reduced frequency of service (one larger bus every 10 minutes rather than two regular sized buses coming once every 5 minutes)
less flexibility for scheduling, routing, and maintenance.
However, a bi-articulated bus requires fewer drivers relative to the number of passengers per bus. ~Wikipedia
