Abstract
Transit authorities have increasingly found that the provision of economic services to their communities require more efficient operations. Higher capacity buses have been evaluated, and as a result of trials, have entered more widespread fleet service. Articulated buses have been employed and the improvement in public transport efficiency can be assessed from a consideration of the advantages, and constraints. The relative efficiency of articulated buses and competitive high capacity buses can be assessed in a similar manner. The final choice is largely dependent on the size of the initial investment in infrastructure adaptation and the resulting whole life operating costs.
