Default Final design for the "New Bus for London" (aka BorisBus / new Routemaster) unveiled

to my eyes at least, it does look good


Not to mine - the front is a hideous, bulbous eyed mess and looks like
it's got a black eye, while the back sacrifices the rear window for a
stylistic swoosh. The sides are OK in a 'just like any modern long
distance coach' way, but who judges a bus by its sides?

What's more important is how big the thing is, looks huge to me. It would
have to be to fit in 87 seats, three doors and two staircases, mind.

It's not a Routemaster.

Are we sure it's 87 seats? Or is it 87 capacity (x seats and y standing)?
