The Cambridge Guided Bus was also "sold" on the basis of having a
similar trendy looking bendy bus in the fliers - but once it was
approved the promoters backpedalled and said that they never
intended to imply it would have anything other than normal buses.
Yeah, right.

To be fair, that was a change of promoters. Cambridgeshire County Council
have never sold the scheme on the basis of bendy buses.

So who was it produced the documents in question. Weren't they
circulated around the time of the infamous "would you like high quality
transport" questionnaire?

It's still being sold as superior, though, through leather seats and wifi.

People would probably prefer a more frequent service, especially
off-peak.
