While it won't solve the problem it's a step in the right direction!

I think an articulated bus is what we Brits call a 'bendy bus'. It's made of 2 parts and bends in the middle, Still a single deck though.
the roads at WDW are not constructed for this type of vehicle. Neither are the drving skills of the bus driver.
just because they can "technically" make the turns in these things...doesn't mean they are going to have the room too....particularly the resorts constructed prior to 1995.
We were there for 3 weeks in Feb. Except for park closings the buses were empty. Maybe half dozen people on them. Seems to me they should be looking at a small fleet of smaller buses for the day time. Something that would cost less to operate.
Is this a joke?
They were empty because your were there at the slowest time of the year.
why not talk blue sky idea and put a PRT system in. connecting everything not on the monorail line back to the TTC.
sure it would be at a high cost but less then expanding the monorail line for the same service. it could run at ground level right next to the current highway system.
nice to dream....
You have to understand cost of operating those big things. A small fleet of smaller buses can offset the cost of operating bigger ones. Over a period of a year there is more time where the load is light. Fuel costs are becoming the biggest costs.
