What I can’t understand is how this triple long bus improves things. I sometimes ride buses both in the US and in other countries. Generally single length buses are not full.

If you replace single length buses with ‘triples’ is would see that you would have to cut the frequency of buses by three in order to sell enough seats to break even.

We’ve already got a problem in lots of the US in having too much time between buses. Going from the SF airport area to downtown SF there’s only one bus per hour. That sort of limited schedule sends people to their cars.

Two less drivers. Some drafting advantages by having “three buses” follow each other with inches between.

This thing is not going to get used in cities. Guaranteed gridlock.

If it runs pick up/drop off routes then the frequency of buses will drop and crowds waiting for the bus will block sidewalks. The bus stop is going to eat up a lot of space.

It’s likely to be a friggin’ problem on highways – if you have had the experience of trying to get around a string of 18-wheelers and a “I don’t drive 65″ driver in the passing lane.

Come on, Chelsea, do some reporting. Dig deeper. More than a spicy taste, please. A nice filling meal. Some kaeng khiao wan and khao niew along with the satay.
