Do all articulateds have 3 doors?

Are three doors now standard, even when only the front door is for entering?

Because all these new artics are from the same manufacturer. Should SBS come to a Stengel route some day, these same buses can receive an SBS wrap and be used for it immediately.

This might be too complicated for Americans to deal with, but it seems to work well in European cities. Artics abroad often have 4 doors! Wait time at stops is minimal compared to New York bus stops. The 2-door artics were a terrible mistake or false economy. If only New Yorkers could be trained never to exit from the front door of an artic, we might have a chance. Hopefully the 3-coor artics will help speed our bus travel, if only people will use the doors sensibly.

The Hybrids burn just as much gas Diesels. They burn just as dirty. They always have electrical issues. Another failure at the TA.
