Transport for London

Bendy buses bow out

02 September 2009

ARTICULATED buses operated for the last time on Friday on route 521 (between Waterloo and London) making it the second route from which bendy buses have been removed.

Extra single-deckers are now running in their place, every two to three minutes at peak times rather than every four minutes. 

Although there will be more buses on the route, they are of a high environmental standard, and carbon dioxide emissions will be cut by more than three per cent.

Kulveer Ranger, the Mayor of London's transport adviser, said: 'The Mayor was elected with a clear manifesto of getting the bendy buses off our streets and he's delighted to see the second set of them leaving the capital.

'Route 38 will be the next to lose bendy buses later this year, after which there will be just nine routes left to convert before the end of 2011.'
