Boris admits bendy-buses are safe - but he'll axe them anyway

Quite frankly I tend to find (not here, but in general) that a lot of

on one (let alone used them regularly),
So the views of these people don't count then?
I've never been on a bendy bus, and pretty much never choose to travel
on buses (despite getting free travel on them).
I have, however, on many occasions come out of an Underground station
and been unable to cross a road because a bendy bus is blocking the
road, or had a road journey (by bicycle or car) take longer because of
congestion caused by these hideous things.
I have also witnessed safety-related incidents where the traffic
movements caused by bendy buses has posed a danger to cyclists and
pedestrians.
But, of course, my views don't count because I've never been on a
bendy bus.
