Buses, often considered the "workhorses" of urban transportation, may vary in design, length and capacity. Despite variations in cities across the United States and the world, there are still recognized standards for city bus dimensions.
Standard City Bus
The approximate average city bus length is 14 meters, or between 35 and 45 feet. Bus width is typically between 95 and 105 inches, or 8 to 9 feet.
Articulated Bus Length
Articulated buses, which are composed of two sections held by a pivoting joint, are around 18 meters long (approximately 60 feet). Such buses can usually hold about 120 passengers.
Bi-Articulated Buses
The bi-articulated bus is an expansion on the articulated bus, with three sections rather than two. These buses, used in areas of high population and population density, can be 25 meters long, with a capacity of more than 200.
