That would be a fair point except that bendy buses carry a damn site
more people than a double decker.
Not within the same amount of road space they don't! Which is just

point!


Am I the only one who is suddenly thinking of a double decker bendy
bus?! [1]


Nope! It's been done:

Cheers for those links - that's fantastic!! (although the utube videos

thing spontaneously combusts - possibly double the bang of the usual
bendy bus fire!)
