The new LT and ST are designed for london..The bendy bus was not fit for London....If they were a new designed routemaster would not have happened. Thankfully Boris made a very good decision to open a design competition to enhance our bus systemm and now London is seeing the benefits.
I see fares are only getting a 1% increase..i would gladly pay £2 a ride on the new routemasters to help finance the new batch,I was on the 148 yesterday and saturday and thoroughly enjoyed my rides.
My enthusiasm has not dipped at all ever since the first eight protocols launched on the 38...

Route 73 for example running without a...
cANT BELIEVE THE FUSS THE COST OF THE BUS MAKES
The money was available to ease congestion..3 entrances..three exits,more ability to scan contactless and oyster without looking at the driver and the bus leaves the bus stop much quicker and looks better too.
MONEY WELL SPENT

London deserves a bus that looks quality and this is first bus to get anywhere near the old rms...
