Really it's a DEcongestion zone, freeing up the city for walking,

Bus drivers in London are a menace to cyclists, often overtaking with
inches to spare, then pulling in and slamming the brakes on. They are
loud and stink.


Agreed. TfL should insist on the provision of showers at all depots.



You're right about the menace, though - the classic
overtake-just-before-a-stop maneuver must be on the training course,
they're that consistent about it. Still, i'd rather have one bus than
dozens of taxis - in fact i'd rather have one bus than one taxi; those
guys are real psychotics. Except Mr Hughes of course!
