Bus stop capacity bus station capacity eg difficult in most bus stations
And secondly they take 2.5 times of space on the road which if I remember rightly why Ken livingstone and Boris got rid of them in London due to length etc
It was worked out that a double decker bus was more efficient and effective
Only benefit to having a bendy bus is if you use it on a route with low bridges where a double decker couldn't be used but we have little issue of that on "core" routes in the North East
