Default Farewell To The Bendy Bus

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16091997

Interestingly, the BBC article gives the impression that all bendy
buses are being replaced by the Borismaster.

"...But Transport for All, which speaks for older and disabled
transport users, said TfL was "nuts" to scrap the vehicles, especially
as their new Routemaster-style replacements had only "a tiny
wheelchair space..."

The fact that none of the bendy bus routes are being replaced by the
Borismaster seems to have escaped the BBC. But then we all know that
the BBC are always accurate in their reporting, don't we?

The article goes on to mention the conflict between wheelchair users
and buggy users who will not fold a buggy and/or move to make space
for a wheelchair user. This is a problem whatever type of bus you
use, and there is no easy answer.
