Old London Buses Return For Olympics |
|
1) London is famous for its old, red, double-decker buses. They were called “Routemaster” buses. But the buses had many problems. For one thing, people in wheelchairs could not use the buses. Another problem was that the buses were very expensive. And modern buses were safer. So, the city got rid of Routemaster buses in 2005.
2) London replaced the Routemaster buses with modern double-decker buses. They also added long buses that bend around curves. But London’s mayor, Boris Johnson, said the long buses are not good for London. He complained that those buses block traffic and put cyclists in danger.
3) Now, Johnson wants to bring back the old London buses. However, he plans to update the model. He had a competition for London bus designs. More than 700 people entered the contest. The mayor liked two of the designs. He wants to build the new buses before the 2012 Olympics in London. |
