There was nothing unsuitable about them. I've seen loads of them at victoria -
what was the problem? People wibble on about london being special - there is
nothing special about london. Its streets are no narrower or more curvy than
a lot of european cities. Anyone who thinks bendybuses have a hard time here
should see them navigate their way around the centre of Metz in France!

The fare dodging issue is anything but fatuous!


Funny how everywhere else in europe copes.
