That, allied to their reputation as a "free bus"

I'm not clear why the Bozza bus, which has exactly the same operating
model, isn't also seen that way.

FWIW, the bendy could have been operated as "on at the front, off at
the back" the same as most London deckers. The method of revenue
protection has nothing to do with the type of bus.

Presumably the main difference is the larger number of passengers per bus.

Another nail in the coffin was the Brexit-style campaign of
misinformation from serial liar Boris himself and the Mini Mail -- or
was the Standard in the oligarch's hands by then?

Plenty of artic buses are operated in an "on at the front" manner -
many, many places in France and Spain for instance, and they operate
in many of the oldest cities across Europe so I maintain sceptical
about their alleged problems. Of course, some routes suit some
vehicles better. The first routes these buses went from were the ones
to which they were most suited, therefore IMO the policy was nothing
but ********.
