The new London design was unveiled by London mayor, Boris Johnson. The design was based on the old Routemaster model. The new bus will be powered by eco-friendly hybrid technology. According to Transport for London, it will be 15 percent more fuel-efficient compared to current hybrid buses. It is 40 percent more efficient than diesel double deckers. Lightweight materials help to keep emissions and fuel consumption down. TFL also reckons that the new model will be much quieter than any existing bus. An open platform, reminiscent of the previous Routemaster, features on the new design and allows the reinstatement of a hop-on, hop-off service. Boris Johnson said, “This iconic new part of our transport system is not only beautiful, but also has a green heart beating beneath its stylish, swooshing exterior.” New London Bus Design Unveiled is a post from: Daily World Buzz
