  • Around the English-speaking world, articulated buses have acquired several different synonyms that allude to their articulated design, such as bendy buses, tandem buses, stretch buses, banana buses, slinky buses, caterpillar buses or accordion buses . Due to their high passenger capacity, articulated buses are often used as part of bus rapid transit schemes, and can include mechanical guidance. Used almost exclusively on public transport bus services, articulated buses are approximately metres (ft) in length; standard rigid-construction buses are usually . The common arrangement of an articulated bus is to have a forward vehicle with two axles towing a rear trailer section with a single axle, although the driving axle can be mounted on either the front or the rear vehicle. Some articulated bus models have a steering arrangement on the rearmost axle which turns slightly in opposition to the front steering axle, allowing the vehicle to negotiate turns in a crab-like fashion, similar to hook-and-ladder fire trucks operating in city environments. A less common variant of the articulated bus is the bi-articulated bus, where the vehicle has two trailer sections rather than one. Their capacity is around 200 persons, and their length about metres (ft).
