FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the articulated bus
How many people fit in an articulated bus?
An articulated bus holds up to around 125 passengers – typically about 45 seats and 80 standing places. That makes it the bus type with the highest capacity in a single vehicle. The exact split depends on the model; we’ll tell you when you enquire.
What is an articulated bus especially suited for?
Whenever many people need moving over shorter distances – for instance a staff shuttle to the company premises, trade-fair and conference traffic, or as a school bus. Thanks to seats and standing places, a large group fits together in one vehicle.
Isn’t an articulated bus too unwieldy in city traffic?
No. The central articulation keeps the bus – up to 18.75 metres long – manoeuvrable even on narrow streets. By design it is just as safe as a conventional city bus.
What does it cost to hire an articulated bus with driver?
The price depends on route, journey time, region and equipment – a flat figure would be misleading. Our Europe-wide partner network avoids long dead-head journeys, which keeps the price low. You receive a no-obligation quote that fits your enquiry exactly.

Yes. Through our partner network we find the right vehicle in any region, even at short notice. Extra services such as on-board catering or vehicle branding are agreed in advance. And if something changes en route – one stop more, one stop less – we react immediately.
