articulated bus
Accordion-style public vehicle
An articulated bus is an extra-long bus with two or more rigid sections connected by a flexible joint, allowing it to bend around corners while carrying more passengers than a standard bus.
The accordion-like middle section lets the vehicle navigate city streets despite its length: The articulated bus stretched nearly sixty feet.
