The trains around Munich, Germany were fantastic for that effect. 15+ cars long with wide, open pivots.

Yep I find the Elizabeth Line in London has this effect too.
I find it a bit freaky to be honest but you do get used to it.

Most metros are like this no? Not much seating, just articulated open tubes(-in-tubes)

Only if the trains are less than about 25 years old. Before that there were only narrow walkways between carriages.

The best part is sitting in the swivel part and having the whole bus bend around you.

My college years did not include all that many hangovers, but I distinctly remember not enjoying this effect one morning.

One silver lining to the bus being packed is standing with one foot on either side of the articulation pivot. Feeling your stance change under you while you're standing still is neat.
