Default Bendy buses

Yesterday's Evening Standard had as its main story that Ken Livingstone
was thinking of scrapping all bendy buses. I'm surprised that there has
been nothing on this here.

Maybe because that wasn't what he said just the Standard's "spin" on it

From someone who was at the "meeting" "He made it clear that he recognises
they are not working -as well- on *some routes* compared to others, and that
they were working very well on high
volume short distance routes, but they are looking at the way they work on
the longer routes, re-iterating that only 300 of 8,000 buses are bendy.
This being in response to a question that wondered why double-deckers were
not being used."

Thanks for putting it in perspective.
