  Pardon
- Not sure how i feel about this ...
  
  On the one hand they are pretty unpleasant to travel on and as a cyclist they are the worst vehicle to share the road with. Really dangerous because of their size and the fact that the driver simply cant be aware of everything around them.
  
  However ... Ive been thankful for free bendy bus ride home when my oysters ran out on a number of occasions.

- Pardon:
  That sounds so rude, not the free ride but your oysters running out.

- This is the bus you want. They feel like a race car with your head jolting forward as the driver changes gear!

  Nah. Bozza Jozza ran on the promise he'd scrap bendy buses. I guess this is stage 1 of the phase out!

- OMG! What was the original cost to travellers to get these things on the road, drivers trained and up and running? Why is it that Londoners are assumed to take up any financial slack.
