Regular vs. Articulated Bus Turning Test 

The first time someone sees one of our articulated buses, they often ask us, “How is that massive bus going to be able to turn on our tight streets?”
So, we put it to the test.
We made as tight a turn as we could with a “regular” 40-foot bus and with a 60-foot articulated bus. Check out the video to see what happened.
What’s going on here? How is an articulated bus just as maneuverable as a 40-foot bus?
Even though it's longer, the space between the sets of tires is shorter. And, the bus turns around its central pivot. Together, these allow the bus to make the same turns a 40-foot bus can.
It turns out that the turning radius for a 40-foot bus is 43 feet. For the articulated bus, it’s 44 feet and 8 inches. Pretty much anywhere a 40-foot bus can go, an articulated bus can go, too.
