A '''bi-articulated bus''' or '''double-articulated bus''' and sometimes '''train-bus''', '''tram-bus''', '''trackless tram''' or '''double bendy bus''' is a type of high-capacity [[articulated bus]] with an extra [[axle]] and a second articulation joint, as well as extended length. Bi-articulated buses tend to be employed in high-frequency core routes or [[bus rapid transit]] schemes rather than in conventional bus routes.

==Design considerations==
Common bi-articulated buses resemble [[train|rail vehicles]] in design. They often have elevated train-type doors instead of traditional [[bus doors]] to use dedicated stations. Payment is typically made at a bus station using a [[paid area|fare gate]] rather than on the bus.

Compared to using multiple smaller buses on a route, challenges using a bi-articulated bus include: 
* difficulties maneuvering in traffic
* an increased turning radius
* the need to have extended length station platforms
* reduced frequency of service (one larger bus every 10 minutes rather than two regular sized buses coming once every 5 minutes) 
* less flexibility for scheduling, routing, and maintenance. 
However, a bi-articulated bus requires fewer drivers relative to the number of passengers per bus.

==Early versions==
In 1960, the Chengdu Bus Factory presented the first bi-articulated bus in China based on the chassis of the [[Ikarus 60]], with a capacity of over 300 passengers. This received nationwide coverage, including in the ''[[People's Daily]]''. However, the technological immaturity during the Great Leap Forward era and a lack of the support of other associated industries meant the bus did not enter mass production.<ref>((Cite journal |last=文 |first=风 |last2=侯 |first2=翔 |title=中国客车工业 50 年回顾专题（二） |trans-title=50 Years of the Chinese Bus Industry (Part Two) |journal=城市车辆 |volume=2008 |issue=2 |pages=28))</ref>

In November 1983, the Shenyang Bus Factory completed a 22.7 metres long bi-articulated bus with steerable first and last axles, resulting in a minimum turn radius of 24 metres. The bus had a nominal capacity of 280 and a maximum capacity of 350. Based on that, a second bi-articulated bus was produced in 1986, featuring improvements gained from the experiences of developing the first bus and technologies from the [[Karosa B 731]].<ref>((Cite web |title=沈阳的双铰接公交车（大容量公共汽车）_沈阳公交网 |url=http://www.shenyangbus.com/plus/view.php?aid=1732 |access-date=2024-03-18 |website=www.shenyangbus.com))</ref>

In the late 1980s, the French manufacturers [[Renault]] and [[Heuliez Bus]] developed the "Mégabus" (officially the Heuliez GX237), a bi-articulated high-floor bus. The demonstrator Mégabus visited transit agencies throughout France, but the only city to order them was [[Bordeaux]] (an order of 10 buses, built in 1989). These buses, now retired, were used on Bordeaux's bus route 7((Citation needed|date=April 2012)) until the city's [[Tramway de Bordeaux|tram system]] opened in 2004.<ref>((cite web |url=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.fuller1/GX237.html |title=French buses – the Megabus and other PR100 oddities |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071205152430/http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.fuller1/GX237.html |archive-date=5 December 2007 ))</ref>

Hungarian bus manufacturer [[Ikarus Bus|Ikarus]] also developed a bi-articulated bus prototype, the [[Ikarus 293]], in 1988. There was only one prototype made, because the longness of the bus caused it to not to work perfectly. During the test run in the city of [[Pécs]], bus drivers have complained about the vehicle's slowness, its high deviation, its slow acceleration and turning speed. After it has seen multiple exhibitions, the bus was transported to Ikarus's depot in [[Mátyásföld]]. In 1992, a company in [[Teheran]] bought it and changed it's interior, and swapped its original motor to a 280 [[Horsepower|hp]] MAN motor. Because of the new motor's space requirements, the second passenger door was also moved forward. They also repainted it. In Teheran, the bus has worked for 17 years, until it's retirement in 2009. In 2022, the [[Budapesti Közlekedési Zrt.|BKV]] has made a replica from two [[Ikarus 280]]-s, which is only slightly different from the original prototype. There are two main differences, the replica in [[Budapest]] features a more powerful motor, and a more stable and safer axle mechanism. The vehicle is not taking part in passenger transport, but is regularly seen by public during open days.<ref>((Citation |title=Ikarus 293 |date=6 April 2023 |url=https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ikarus_293&oldid=25992805 |work=Wikipédia |access-date=2024-01-09 |language=hu))</ref>
[[File:AutoTram Extra Grand 2013.JPG|thumb|An AutoTram Extra Grand]]

In [[Bucharest]], the ITB (today the [[Societatea de Transport București|STB]]) operated a double articulated [[trolleybus]] (unofficially called DAC 122E), made by adding a modified section between the first and the last sections of a [[Rocar DAC|DAC]] 117E articulated trolleybus delivered in 1980, with the rear trailing section coming from a damaged DAC 117E. This vehicle was built to fulfill the need of high capacity person transportation, which was proving difficult for the ITB in 1988, when the prototype was made. However, the DAC 117E's 134&nbsp;kW traction motor proved insufficient for such a heavy vehicle, let alone the weight of passengers when it operated at full capacity. As a result, the vehicle was very slow and had trouble operating on grades, especially the incline between Cișmigiu Park and University Square. It also had trouble making sharp turns and was difficult to control, especially on snow or ice. This trolleybus was operated on long lines with wide roads and no major turns except the end of the lines like 69 and 90, but occasionally entered on lines 85, 66, 79 and 86. Bucharest traffic became increasingly intense in the very late 1990s, and RATB sought shorter trolleybuses. The DAC 122E was withdrawn from regular service, being occasionally used on lines 69 and 90 until 2000 when it was fully removed from service, displaced by the then-new [[Ikarus 415T]]s and scrapped. Bucharest no longer operates bi-articulated vehicles (except for trams) due to high traffic levels, which is also the reason why between 2007 and 2018, the RATB refused to operate normal articulated buses. A regular double articulated diesel bus was also made but the [[Miliția|capital police]] refused to allow it to be road legal and to register it on the grounds of its excessive length being outside of the highway code (maximum 17m for articulated buses), and was converted to a regular bus shortly after; the trolleybus was allowed to run being part of a different vehicle class owing to its electric traction.

[[File:Hamburg autobus 8505.jpg|thumb|A [[Van Hool]] bi-articulated bus in [[Hamburg]], Germany]]
A bi-articulated bus is a long vehicle and usually requires a specially trained driver, as maneuvering (particularly reversing) can be difficult. Articulated electric [[trolleybus]]es can be difficult to control, with their motors producing momentary peak power in excess of 600 kilowatts (816 [[Metric horsepower|PS]]; 805 [[Horsepower|hp]]). The trailer section of a "puller" bus can be subject to unusual [[centripetal force]]s, which many people can find uncomfortable, although this is not an issue with "pushers". Bi-articulated buses are difficult to reverse park as joints force the bus into a zig-zag shape.

The transit system that has used bi-articulated buses the longest is the ''[[Rede Integrada de Transporte]]'', in [[Curitiba]], Brazil, which provides a type of service that has come to be known – particularly in [[American English]] – as [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT), where buses run in dedicated lanes and stop only at enclosed stations. Use of bi-articulated buses began in 1992,<ref name="janes1993">Bushell, Chris (ed.) (1993). ''Jane's Urban Transport Systems 1993–94'', pp. 79–80. Coulsdon, Surrey (UK): [[Jane's Information Group]]. ((ISBN|0-7106-1072-6)).</ref> with vehicles manufactured by [[Volvo Bus|Volvo]] (chassis) and [[Marcopolo S.A.|Marcopolo]]/Ciferal (body), able to carry up to 270 passengers. Each bi-articulated bus is equipped with five doors where passengers can quickly load and unload. Buses stop only at enclosed, tube-shaped stations, where passengers pre-pay the fare and then board at the same level as the vehicle floor. Curitiba has over 170 bi-articulated buses in operation on routes serving five main corridors of dedicated bus lanes. These buses run on an average period of 50 seconds during peak hours.((Citation needed|date=January 2012))

The service is presented as a step towards the tramline that was originally proposed.
