I wish someone would make a large bus with lots of large doors. This bus is optimized for longer distance travel - it will take a long time to get everyone on the bus through that one door, thus meaning it must be stopped in one place for a while everytime a group gets on/off. The advantage is you can put a lot more seats on the bus.
Meanwhile most buses are used for short trips in areas where lots of people will be getting on and off. Thus they should optimize not for how many people can sit on the bus, but how fast you can get them on/off and thus to where they want to be.
Remember time your transit vehicle spends at a stop when you are not getting on/off is time robbed from you. People have places to be and the bus (except for a few 3 year olds is not one of them). One of the big issues people have with transit is how slow it is (and several others are a proxy for slow)
One of the pictures on the inside looks like there's platform level doors on the left. I could see it going into CDMX's existing or new BRT routes, where they already have articulated buses.
