At least for the 29, adding frequency would be the thing to do before using articulated buses. I think the bendy buses are best used where headways have already been reduced as far as they can go, and adding more buses won't really be adding capacity schedule adherence being what it is.
The 7 is a good example. Buses come every four or five minutes at times- it's possible for one to overtake another or travel so close that one bus gets crush-loaded while another runs relatively less full. Adding more buses might not solve that problem as effectively as higher-capacity buses.
