It's an inverse translation (Spa>Eng) and because I'm not an english native speaker I'm afraid some phrases might be quite literal. For this reason I'm looking for help, changing some odd/artificial constructions for usual native-likes. Thanks in advance....

Bueno, aquí lo tienes. Espero te sirva bien. Traté de conservar el texto original lo más que se pudo, cambiandolo solo para mayor compresión. Por cierto, ¿que quieres decir con Articulated? OJO, rmoví varias palabras, no te confies.

I'm sorry, it wasn't too short after all

Thanks a lot, this thing was driving me crazy. About 'articulated' the idea is that these buses are joint... Perhaps source text might help:

Otra opción es el Metrobús, transporte que consiste en camiones articulados que circulan por un carril confinado exclusivamente a lo largo de una de las principales arterias de la ciudad cruzando del extremo sur al norte.

Thanks again.
