here is the new london bus which will be in service for 2012 what do you think
"The final design of the New Bus for London, based on the much-loved Routemaster was unveiled today by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson and London's Transport Commissioner, Peter Hendy.
Entering service in 2012, the futuristic design will use the latest green technology, will be 15 per cent more fuel efficient than existing hybrid buses, 40 per cent more efficient than conventional diesel double decks and much quieter on the streets.
The design
The design makes use of lightweight materials, with glass highlighting key features and producing a light and airy feel inside the bus. A glass 'swoop' at the rear and offside pick out the two staircases and provide a dramatic visual effect. An asymmetric design for the front-end completes the futuristic look.
Hop-on, hop-off
The open platform, a design shared with the old Routemaster, allows the reinstatement of a hop-on, hop-off service. Three doors and two staircases will aid speedier and smoother boarding."
