I don't get this antipathy to the Boris buses. I'm a passenger,

much road space and blocking junctions.


They just look "wrong" to me. And furthermore, they are an insult to the
genuine, real Routemaster, which served London for many years and still
would to this day if not for the PC brigade.



Form followed function with the compact, light-weight, attractive, original

one.
