Too right hans, I've just started riding to work and the bendy buses along Marlybourne High Street are a nightmare.
As for the new one, I like it. Nice echo of the original without being to Darling Buds of May retro.

I do really like the style of this new Routemaster, although as a once regular user of the bendy bus I didn't really see them as being that much of a problem. The fact that you could wedge in a fair few extra passengers was great. Nothing worse than getting rained on in rush hour, only to see another fucking bus fly past without stopping because it was full!

Looks like public transportation for Iron Man

Waste of money, you know for the first few years each one of those buses is going to cost £1,600,000 around 8 times the cost of a regular bus.
As a London tax payer i find this an outrageous vanity expense. The bendy buses are not cyclist crushers - I am also a cyclist.
The money saved not buying overpriced routemaster could for instance be spent improving the cycle lane network.
Boris fucking vanity project makes me angry :(

I always imagined all London's buses to be like the Spice Girls' bus...

Heatherwick Studio is on a roll at after the British Pavillion. Designer of choice for the British Establishment it seems...
