$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Twilight', 'N')ice caricature. No way would that be stable, let alone fit under bridges. The top deck must be cosmetic.
If it were a hybrid with batteries covering the entire floorplan it might work, kind of like the Tango. It doesn't look stable, but it is, because of the massive counterweight.

Behold the "Bi-articulated bus" or double bendy bus!
I think buses like these will be put to greater use in a PO world.
In a financially starved world I can only imagine the absolute MOST heavily traveled routes being awarded a "grade-separated" rail line.
I keep on saying bus capacity is NOT an issue. How come more people don't take me seriously?
