London Transit

London Bus

I had to include a section on London's buses. Most cities in the world have tried double-decker buses, but few retained them. The Routemaster with the conductors are the most famous, and still operate. Apparently the Routemaster has outlived newer coaches. With conductors and the easy on/off these buses zip through town while newer coaches must wait for people to pay their fares to the driver before continuing on. In the late 1990's there was a push for more Routemasters. Now the city want to get rid of them for "safety" and ADA requirements. However the public is not happy, so time will tell.
