They could carry a lot more people than a double decker and lots of
people could get on and off them very quickly leading to short stopping
times. There was also more room for the disabled. But hey, who cares
about practicalities and wasting all the millions spent on them if Boris
can do some showboating with an expensive pointless white elephant bus.
