DDifficulty 2/5

A bus has two rigid parts joined by an articulated section allowing passengers to move between them. The parts can only be connected or separated in a workshop. What is this vehicle called?

Correct answer

An articulated bus.

It is an articulated bus. Its two passenger compartments communicate through the articulated section, and the parts can only be connected or separated in a workshop. Distinguish it from an articulated vehicle, consisting of a motor vehicle and a semi-trailer, and a road train, consisting of a motor vehicle and a trailer. “Vehicle combination” includes those latter two categories; it is not exclusively synonymous with a road train.
