Similarly, it was a silly act of vandalism to rename the London

Is that really the reason?

How many people, when
referring to a London bus say "a Transport for London bus" as opposed
to a "London Transport bus" even nowadays?

I don't usually say either, usually a London Bus.

I'm even more perverse. I'd call it a "bus". "London Transport Bus", or
even "Transport for London Bus" is a triple tautology, surely, for someone
standing at a bus stop in London...
