Warsaw also has them in large numbers. The only thing that kinda works when the rail and tram systems are neglected
A 18-meter articulated bus fits on a small roundabout (as long as the center is paved), while the shorter yet unarticulated 15-meter busses don't.

Mercedes has a 20-meter, 4-axle articulated bus.

Warsaw had a doubledecker for the tourist line, but it had to go through lots of red tape just to be able to drive, because it was 6cm too tall (406cm vs the 4m limit).
