Double deckers carry more pax than bendies
Seating capacity: 82 to 85
Standing capacity: 50 pax
Max capacity: 130 pax but mostly 120 pax is what it is.
For bendies
Seating capacity: 57 to 60
Standing capacity: 50 pax (including the joint area)
Max capacity: 110 pax
Bendies have smaller corridors, whereas DDs (Wrights have) 2
parking spaces for wheelchairs and a big standing area. This
standing area is similar to that of the joint between bendies,
where there is nothing to hold and very uncomfortable to stand.
Most often bendies can carry only 100 pax.
Both in terms of comfort (seating space) and number of pax - DDs
are better.
Yes bendy has one huge advantage: an extra door. But while
boarding it is still one door!!!
How can you compare WAB DDs with Non-WAB bendies?
