Why are bendy-buses not double-decker?


Incidentally, i am not the first person to think of this:


I'd thought of it too. And also, the bus in the film "The Big Bus" is a
double decker bendy bus (and nuclear powered too!).

Because Bendy-Buses can accommodate more people


Hang on - how does a single-decker bendy accommodate more people
than a double-decker bendy? I'd have thought the double-decker
version would accomodate roughly twice as many!


I think everyone who has replied has interpreted what you said as
meaning "Why not use double deckers instead of bendy buses?". The idea
of a double decker bendy bus obviously seems quite strange! Personally,
I'd like to see one, although whether I'd like to travel in it is
another matter!
