New Bus For London

New Bus For London

I have modified the New Bus For London by ronandton.wordpress.com

I have edited it to how the bus looked like in Singapore.

It is not 100% exact,and I am referring to the BUSINESS IS GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND part.

But without further ado,enjoy!

Also if you want to paste with tape,foldable parts are added.

The bus in brief:

The New Bus for London (NB4L, sometimes called the New Routemaster or Borismaster) is a low-floor wheelchair-accessible double-decker transit bus operating in London. Based off the original AEC Routemaster, the bus features the ’hop-on hop-off’ rear open platform of the original Routemaster. The bus is currently manufactured by Wrightbus in Northern Ireland.

Design effort:

The need for a new Routemaster was due to a number of factors. The ageing Routemaster fleet of the 1960s were being replaced in favor of more modern wheelchair accessible low-floor buses, which offered greater comfort and safety. Newer buses also did away with the need for a conductor at the rear of the bus to manage fare payment, reducing operating costs. The iconic Routemaster was formally withdrawn from service in 2005, but in 2008, elected mayor Boris Johnson pledged for a new Routemaster to replace the former.

Following an open design competition in 2008, Northern Ireland-based bus manufacturer Wrightbus was awarded the contract to build the bus at the end of 2009. The final design was unveiled in May 2010, and in December 2011, the first working prototype was on the roads. The first new bus, fleet number LT 2, entered revenue service with Arriva London on 27 February 2012, plying route 38.
