It would be nice if RMs were retained, even if it was only for tourist

I dunno about less dangerous, having seen the bendy buses on the roads in
London I reckon a total mashing of either a car or an innocent pedestrian is
not far off.

I don't know either. My worry is that no-one is trying to find out in
case they don't like the answer. Collision statistics must be gathered
separately for bendy buses and ordinary ones, and no-one will tell me if
this is being done or not.

HGVs kill most of the cyclists who die on London roads - it is at least
possible that bendy buses will be equally dangerous.
