Default A good argument against the bendy bus

It appears that the new Borismaster will, in practice, allow boarding
through *all* 3 doors - so it won't be any different (the conductor/
PCSO etc will have little/no real control).


Just to add, as yet it's not at all clear as to how the Borismaster will
work when in OPO mode (i.e. driver only) - the back door/platform seems as
though it'll only be on offer when there's a conductor/whatever on board,
but I wouldn't automatically assume that the bus will work on a
board-either-door basis (like the new non-bendy Citaros on the 'Red Arrow'
507/521 routes) as opposed to working in the conventional OPO manner of
board front door, exit from the middle.
