The new bus for London looks like its based on one of the current crop of London bus chassis, only longer & with hop on - hop off facility (optional). The original entries 'above' were all variations on the theme "Routemaster" where as the New Bus for London is definately not a Routemaster, there are faint echoes though . . . . . . . . . . . .

It's an urban ICON indid for the city of London. The thing I don't understand is if it was suposed to be a new bus, why looks like the old one? The competition is for a new bus and not for a redesign. About the winner...))) I've never been in London and many other european citys have or had buses like these.
