The gas pipeline crossing planner has more to worry about damage from regular buses than the articulated buses.
A surprising turn of circumstances has 40' low floor buses easily exceeding Alberta's single axle weight restriction for highways and roads. It turns out that just a few passenger will max out the gross weight restriction.
Articulated buses fare a little better due to the third axle. (note: articulated buses will also become overweight when at max capacity)
