I remember articulated seeing buses in Lucerne in late 1990, doing well on the curved streets. We had them in London for several years on newly created routes, 436 and 473. They didn't handle well on London's essentially square street system. The drivers needed to pull over into the opposite lane to negotiate right angle corners, so blocking traffic. They were phased out in the last three years or so.

London drivers are too hungry for space too and will steal it regardless of whether it holds up the traffic or not. Of course they don't normally have deckers on the Continent and articulated buses are their equivalent and so common as to be unremarkable except to us Brits.
