Articulated Bus Market by Fuel, Type, Application

List of Tables

The Articulated Bus Market was valued at USD 16.34 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 17.54 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.10%, to USD 28.20 billion by 2030.

The articulated bus, a public transport solution characterized by its extended capacity and jointed sections, is designed to ease urban congestion and enhance passenger throughput on busy routes. Primarily used in metropolitan areas, these buses can transport larger numbers of passengers without the need for additional staffing or infrastructure changes. The growing demand for efficient public transportation, coupled with urbanization and environmental concerns, underpins the necessity for articulated buses. They are particularly effective in cities with high population densities, where traditional buses fall short of capacity demands. End-use applications span public transit agencies, private transport operators, and municipal bodies aiming to provide efficient, sustainable options for commuter travel.
