What is an articulated transit bus?

An articulated transit bus is defined as a two-section passenger bus connected by a pivoting point, allowing for greater maneuverability and a longer passenger capacity. The connection between the two sections helps navigate tight turns and corners, making it particularly useful in urban settings where space can be limited.

Articulated buses typically consist of a front section that contains the driver's area and standard seating, while the rear section provides additional passenger space. The flexibility provided by the pivoting joint enables these buses to effectively serve busy transit routes, accommodating larger passenger volumes than standard rigid buses.

The other options describe different types of vehicles or features unrelated to the specific definition of an articulated bus. Low floor designs, long-distance travel vehicles, and off-road capabilities each refer to different classifications or functionalities not applicable to articulated buses.
