The London Bus
The first London Bus started service on July 4, 1829. However it was only a horse and carriage for about 20 people. Its route was from Paddington Station to Bank, and it was an instant success. The first double-decker buses (Picture 1) appeared in public in 1850, and London is now famous for them.
By 1901 there were more than 3,500 horse-and-carriage buses on the streets. The first motorised buses came out in 1904, and they were extremely successful. In fact ten years later there were no horse- pulled buses. Now all the buses have diesel engines.
In the 1950s London Transport introduced a new type of bus, the Routemaster (Picture 2). This new bus was bigger and carried more passengers (64 seats compared with 56), and at present some Routemasters continue to operate on busy central London routes. Before the Routemasters there were two people on the bus: the driver and the conductor. But the old London buses were not efficient in terms of costs and profits. Therefore, they decided to redesign them with the engine at the back, so that the passengers got on at the front and paid the driver for their ticket.
Today the buses running in London include double- and singledeck vehicles and shorter midibuses, which are better for the environment. In 1995 the Conservative government privatised London Transport, and they sold all their buses to private companies.
