The Red Bus (RouteMaster} is being replaced by the new "bendy", an articulated single decked vehicle. These can carry up to 120 passengers (although many will be standing), about 60 more than the old Red Bus, which will reduce the number of vehicles on the road. They will be climate controlled and will have easier access for disabled passengers. They will however deprive London Commuters of the excitement and convenience of chasing a bus and jumping off while in motion; the cause, I believe, of three deaths last year. There have been, I believe, three cases of a fire on the London Bendies, earning them the title "Chariots of Fire." They are in use in many cities throughout the world, I can remember riding one in Vienna about 30 years ago. Here in Toronto we used them from 1982 - 2003, but decided that our system of street cars (trams) was preferable.

Must have lost something in the translation, we have articulated buses here in Perth, and hydrogen (fuel Cell) powered buses.

Have only seen one artic bus but I think that was in Italy. The fuel cell has not been tried over here yet, BUT, a council and police force in the west country are trying a new fuel made from Wheat!! They reckon it is far cheaper and there is less harmful to the environment.
