Bi-Articulated Buses in Hamburg, Germany (Three-piece)! Bi-Gelenkbusse in Hamburg, Deutschland 2017 

I live in Maryland in the US. The bus drivers in Baltimore can hardly drive a standard bus. They’d rack these up in a heartbeat. I see their single articulates getting in accidents a lot.

Imagine converting that thing into an RV!

I'm sure Hamburg's streets have been well-planned and built to accommodate bi-articulated buses.

The trains of the road

My brother lives in Utrecht and when I visited him in April 2017 he let me drive a Van Hool AGG300 and with bendy driving experience it was a breeze. Lovely to drive.

I'm from the UK & I totally like buses I've got 40 models & 20 DVDs but this is the best looking Bus I've ever seen

I drive regular articulated in Canada, it's not fun during winter, can't imagine with 2 articulation in the snow. But i'll drive them for sure.

Here in Barcelona we have one bus line that introduced this type of buses, but they changed a little when they managed some thinks. First of all, TMB, one of the more important corporations that make the infrastuctures of public transportation here in Barelona, used this triple articulate buses like they are between a normal bus and a tram, so the doors opening worked like in the subway or tram, the driver gives "permission" to open all the doors where the bus is in a stop, but only if the pasengers press the button to open in every one of them. For all the passengers this situation always confused us, because we know when in a bus the doors opens when the conductor push the button, not us, like in the subway. This situation still for some months, but it doesn't work, so basically, now all the doors opens directly when the driver pushes the button, like very other bus types here in the city. There are four doors, two in the "main" part of the bus, one in the middle and another at the end. You can get out of the bus from all the doors and get in from the first two. This doesn't changed. Other think that they managed to change in the time of testing this buses are the driver spaces, they were separated of the passengers space, like a tram or a subway, like i said, and all the drive controls are in the middle. Now the controls are on the left, like a normal bus, but continues separated from the passengers band. PS: Sorry my bad english.

There are some of those in Brazil also.

NYC Needs Those types of busses

I sure like all designs on them and the lion is a sure roaring starter of them all they are all loverly sure are long😊

Saw those when I was there in 2015 and only time I've seen that kind of bus. Wish I rode on one but didn't have time.

1:47 the best!

Is this bus's engine located on the front tractor unlike other Articulated bus?

That is a Double articulated Bus.

Hamburg didn't keep its trams, unlike many other German cities... That's unwise

Normal buses: Bus This thing: Buuus

É top esse vídeo gostei muito de vê essa bi articulado da hora 👍

I use them near to everyday. Sad thing that they get rare

These type of buses should be made here in the US 🇺🇸

I was waiting to see the bus in the picture associated with the video but it wasn't in the video. I've never seen a double-articulated bus with an extra long middle section with 2 axles.

You needed to show inside a bus when it was turning at a 90 degree corner, or reasonable curve from the back of the bus. All I saw was inside a bus or two on straight parts.

These must be hard to drive especially on right turns. I even wonder how hard it is to back these things up

in Australian iv only seen a 2 part bus...this is awsome.

We also have these in sweden gothenburg

The Thumbnail was completely wrong...

How many Americans got a heart attack from this video?

We have got a lot of those in Utrecht too! Haven't you seen those before? :D

Wow trying to back that thing up would be a nightmare

I'd rather be in the front main part of the bus. If those things ever broke apart at least the main part of the bus has control. The rear parts of the bus would just drift off in another direction. LOL

The bussues names are "van hool agg 300"

To be honest, I thought that articulated (aka accordion) buses were basically made up of two buses put together.

Eu gosto muito de ver os bi-articulados do mundo.

Imagine if these were in the United States, especially in cities like Phoenix, New York, San Francisco, Cleveland, etc.

3:00 A pet dog, sweet! Are ya allowed to bring the kitchen sink on board too!? lol

It's quite noisy. Don't beat those bi-articulated trolleybuses in Zurich and Lucerne which are powerful and quiet!

Wow

V good brother

Imagine they were double decker BI-articulated buses

What's the brand name of those buses?

We have these in Albania in the capital city

I have that Bus in Germany Aachen

These are the result of Hamburgs failed traffic planning, with the City government lobbying against light rail and instead buying These monsters that spend Most of their time being repaired. These are soon to be replaced by the Mercedes Capacity buses, which are longer than usual artics

i had no idea they were real o-o

And i thought its noisy in my town!

Today only Mercedes Benz Capacity L's drive in Hamburg.

0:01 looks like a taxi!

That bus must be so hard to drive! Lol

ماشالله

VanHool newAGG320, just not that new anymore.

Hello

We have a number of these in Trondheim (Norway), too, but much more moderne.

In Canada, and much of North America, these very long busses would likely cause problems on the roads with our icy, snowy winters. Ice storms and heavy snowstorms in Canada and much of the USA create truly treacherous road conditions nearly every winter. Also our drastic variance in temperatures that cause pot holes by cracking and breaking asphalt would likely create repairs havoc on the extra articulated parts. I can only imagine further problems with bad drivers. These double-articulated busses ARE sleek and really beautiful though. It would be interesting to ride one!! In my city, we use a mix of standard diesel powered busses, single articulated busses, new electric fuel cell busses, (no overhead power arms and and lines needed), Light Rail and soon Trams will also be making a comeback after several decades. The single articulated busses we use already need quite a bit of space to navigate turns. I can only imagine that some road intersections not laid out to accommodate these big boys (with tight turning space) in dry, spring, summer or autumn conditions, could become downright hazardous when these roads get slick with ice. Interesting fact; many cities that pulled down electric trolley lines (electric busses), and ripped up tram tracks and pulled down electric trolley power lines, (**like in my city**) are going back to Low Floor Trams, after first building Light Rail that mostly needs separate, raised platforms (and stations) along with separate space for tracks and electric poles etc., instead of integrating with and sharing space in existing roads with traffic. City transportation planners in my city, are also re-introducing modern electric fuel cell powered electric busses after previously getting rid of electric trolley busses with power pole arms that ran along electric power cable lines. Low Floor Trams, just like the old Streetcars and or Trams can mix with and share space with traffic. It's much cheaper to not have to build the entire lines with separate infrastructure and clear land to extend lines as needed. Our new Trams are truly beautiful. Soon to come into service! One great thing about Trams is that like Light Rail, you can couple together extra cars when needed, or run individual cars during times when ridership is lighter.

What...

Leider fahren sie nicht mehr!😭

So beautiful to watch. I'm such a bussexual

Like a snake

whats the point? enlighten me

I hate buses, but this video is good.
