No, it isn't. That has just been demonstrated. It takes a few seconds to
overtake a bendibus, which is about a second more than a regular bus. I
don't see how that's enough to reduce grown men to crying children.

They are also widely used in London, and have been in the UK since
being introduced to Manchester somewhere around 1999. Nothing new, and
not seemingly causing too many problems there.

If they are being driven improperly, that's a problem, but a full-size
non-articulated bus could be just as dangerous in such a situation.
