Metz is a small town, you can't sensibly compare it to London.

Of course you can , its the size of the streets that matter , not the size
of the town.


Small town == not much traffic == not so many problems caused by
blocking junctions.

FYI I saw bendy buses navigating this street with little problem:

If they can manage to get around the old part of Metz there's no problem
with them getting around London.


Sure, just like they do in York. Where there's **** all traffic.

vested interest groups + Boris decided they didn't like them from the get go
for whatever political reasons. No one ever bothered to asked the people that
actually mattered - ie the passengers.


Well, apart from that nice Mr. Johnson making it part of his manifesto
and people voting for him. The mayor has basically no significant
powers over anything that matters to most people apart from transport,
so the transport part of his manifesto was the only important bit.
