The problem is that the cargo of the first vehicle is not something that is a like passenger (includes tourists). Because of that it will not go to a bus stop.

I thought that would be the case, maybe it should be altered to check the total capacity, not just the front vehicle...

I've fiddled a little with the code to 'ignore' the CargoID of 0 capacity vehicles in an articulated rv. However... it changes the CargoID of vehicles with capacity 0 to the CargoID of the first vehicle with capacity != 0.

I fear that this causes unexpected things to happen for NewGRF writers, especially with callbacks and such. However, searching for the cargo type in each vehicle when checking to which station a vehicle has to go in the pathfinder doesn't appeal to me at all as it would slow down the game for something that we could easily prevent.

The attached hack 'works' for the passenger horse carriages, but again I think it is not the right thing to do. I'm wondering how hard it would be for a NewGRF writer to set the cargo type to that of the cargo that will be carried.

This does seem a "hacky" solution - and in this case the GRF can easily be changed. Though I think there needs to be some documentation for coding articulated vehicles to clear up confusion about things like this, I'll start to put together some...
