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.

I would imagine Vancouver getting them with being on a fault line and all.

It's funny that here in Toronto all our new buses are bendy buses.

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

I occationally use the number 29 bus (between Wood Green and Trafalger Square) and you know how overcrowded those bendy buses are, way too quickly.

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.
What next, the Olymp... - 3 years ago

YAY! I'm so glad I won't have to stand in the bendy bit on the way to work anymore. That screetching noise makes me crazy!
