people are lazy and nobody wants to go upstairs unless the bottom floor is filled
but if it's filled and you only need to go a couple stops you're baisically going upstairs and immediately downstairs so you're not filling the top floor either, you just suffer
they make sense on long routes, and double-decker trains are the next big thing (especially with the tons of space between the trucks that regular trains can't fill), but buses and trams are retarded
>but long-haul buses
long-haul buses in general are retarded

They only work for a very specific type of route (high-traffic feeder routes where the majority of passengers get off at a single stop). In all other routes, articulated vehicles just do the job better.

They were never popular in the U.S. but the “Broadway Battleship” was a notable exception.
