Check out the lady in red!
The classic doubledecker bus we all know and love has got a major make-over and is now steaming hot! But won’t we miss the good old classic look? Time will tell.
Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, was on hand at the London Transport Museum today to unveil his city’s future of public transportation:
“A full-size mock-up of the bus was on display and the design is clearly a nod to the past. Modeled after the original Routemaster, this updated double-decker brings the style into the 21st century while keeping touches of the old bus’ charm. The new bus, which is being manufactured by Wrightbus, features an open platform in the rear, which marks the return of the traditional hop-on-hop-off service.”
The first Wrightbus prototype is scheduled to be delivered next year. After that, five production buses will enter service in 2012, just in time for the Olypmics.
