Default Ticketless Buses Zone 1?

Having struggled down the Old Kent Road on the 453 and N453 a couple
of times, I think the bendy bus is slower and more cumbersome than a
Routemaster or regular double-decker.

They work a treat on faster routes like the Red Arrow - it suits the
507 down to the ground - but on slower, stop-start-stop-start services
they're an almighty pain.

Write to London Buses and tell them. They've done a survey with
carefully chosen questions, which seems to show that overall people
prefer the bendy buses to RMs.
