Have Your Say On The Bendy Bus

2710_bendy.jpg The protracted demise of the bendy bus provokes strong reactions from Londoners, as shown by our recent story on the subject. If you’d like to praise the bendy (or, indeed, to bury it) on camera, a filmmaker is producing a three-minute documentary on the articulated vehicles on Saturday, and is looking for people to take part. The film will be shot on the 73 bus, heading from Newington Green to Islington Green at 8.20am tomorrow morning. If you’re a passenger, driver, cyclist, or just a windbag with a penchant for perorating about subjects that tickle your goat, then contact the filmmaker at sophie03critchlow(AT)googlemail.com, fish our your ranting cap from the wardrobe, and get ready to fight your corner. More details in this comment on the earlier post. (Image / watpix)

    Get rid of them and fast !! They were just not designed for London streets, althoguh not really sure what type of area they would actually be good in?

    How arrogant of us Londoners to think that we need a special bus designed for our streets. I’ve seen bendies running through tiny French villages, around hairpin bends. Yes, consideration is needed for the route so that you don’t end up down a tiny back-alley, but to suggest that not a single road in London is suited to them is pretty daft.

    Okay, Okay, it’s not the streets of London that are not suitable for the bendy bus, rather the other things on the street, like traffic and people make it so. Maybe in France these other users of the road are not so evident or even there at all.
