Air conditioning on bendy-buses? Have I missed something?!

The SEATING capacity on a bendy-bus is less than on a Routemaster and
it weighs almost twice as much. Not a particularly efficient use of
energy, methinks!


You fit many, many more people standing than sitting. Hence it actually is
a more efficient use of fuel.

What about the muscle-spasm or knocked heads that are inevitably
experienced when bendies go over bumps or around corners?


They aren't. Unless you're drunk
