The new "routemaster"

Just saw this:

Great futuristic design, faithful to the old london icon. I wonder if there's a prototype wandering around the city already...

looks awesome, we need more futuristic-style stuff.

Ottawa got a couple of these recently, but I've only seen it go by once... I think it's too tall for most of the routes (lots of low bridges here).

Not as futuristic as london's

I have travelled in some 2 deck buses in a few countries i visited and really enjoyed the experience. It's perfect for a little city tour, when you are positioned in the upper deck. And they somehow leave an impression on tourists, that's why i approve this london project, specially when the olympics are coming.
