But the Routemaster still has the advantage of being liked more than
any other sort of bus. Most people I know prefer Routemasters to others
buses. I'm not sure what it is about them but they're just better
liked.
People may *say* they like them, but they certainly don't like going
upstairs on them. This is the main reason bendy buses are being
introduced; same (or greater) capacity as a double-decker but lazy
types can now no longer crowd into the bottom floor, causing the bus
to have to go past waiting passengers even though there is plenty of
space on the top deck.
