An interesting report from the BBC on the implementation of 'Bendy-buses' versus the traditional double-decker. Perhaps Ottawa could swap its fleet of vehicles?
They may (double-deckers) serve a purpose on some routes, but they do have some major negatives. They're several times heavier than articulated buses, have narrow stairwells to get to the top level, making it difficult for some to use. We'd need to build new garages to accommodate them and that makes it an expensive business case try to justify.
Negatives aside, they might be used for express routes with few stops.
