	London Buses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although most of the operating companies are private-sector organisations, one (East Thames Buses) is owned by Transport for London, and managed at arm's length so as to avoid conflicts of interest.
		Additionally, London Buses also specifies that vehicles operating in London use manually-wound linen roller destination blinds, whereas in most other parts of the country, electronic dot matrix or LED displays are the norm.
		Because of London Buses' close control on the age of the fleet, it is very common for London buses to be cascaded by their owners to operations in other parts of the country after a few years' service.

	Scania OmniTown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It utilises the Scania N94UB chassis (not to be confused with the N94UD double-deck chassis), sometimes mistakenly referred to as the OmniTown chassis.
		These were delivered to East Thames Buses as the ELS class, and were, in essence, OmniTowns, but lacked the Scania identity.
		The design of Myllenium variant of the front and rear parts of the bodywork were redesigned for 2006, and launched with the common central bodywork on the N94UB chassis as the Esteem, which was placed into service in London by Metrobus.

		The Thames is a tidal river, and London is vulnerable to flooding.
		The Thames Barrier was constructed across the Thames at Woolwich in the 1970s to deal with this threat, but in early-2005 it was suggested that a ten-mile-long barrier further downstream might be required to deal with the flood risk in the future [1].
		The East End of London is closest to the original Port of London, and tended for that reason to be the area of the city where immigrants arriving into the port would settle first.

		Forced busing is the concept of achieving racial or economic integration in schools by transportation of schoolchildren by bus to schools outside their neighborhoods.
		In the Boston metropolitan area, the term "forced busing" is primarily used by critics of a remedy prescribed by Massachusetts US District Court Judge Arthur Garrity for perceived racial inequities in Boston public schools in a 1974 ruling.
		Buses have been used on the streets of London since 1829, when George Shillibeer started operating his horse drawn ''omnibus'' service from Paddington to the city.

	London Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another reason is that during the great period of tube-building in the early 20th century south London was already well served by the efficiently-run suburban lines of the London and South Western Railway and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, then being electrified, which obviated Underground expansion into those areas.
		Preparations are under way to extend the East London Line (ELL) both northwards and southwards, replacing the current sub-surface Underground service with a main-line "Metro" service.
		The roundel has been used for buses and the tube for many years, and since TfL took control it has been applied to other transport types (taxi, tram, DLR, etc.) in different colour pairs.

		Secondly, buses are improving, although there is still a problem with the training of bus drivers.
		East Thames Buses, which is directly owned by the Greater London authority, runs a service as efficient and effective as any other, and that seems to me to be a positive way forward.
		The East London line extension is an important project, for all the reasons that have been suggested.

	Audit Commission - Dial a ride
		The BVR stated that this may in part be due to the use of ‘semi-scheduled’ trips whereby buses are allocated to meet predicted demand, and users are then encouraged to use this facility which reduces their choice.
		Buses do not have floor level access – passengers currently have to mount three steps to board the bus, something which we found particularly inappropriate in view of the number of elderly users and users with disabilities.
		The analysis reveals slight anomalies for the south east and west regions which appear to be slightly beneath resource levels of the other regions, and north east which appears to be slightly over.

	Route 180
		Harris Bus went bust late in 1999, causing the routes to be taken on by London Buses itself, which had tendered the routes in the first place.
		East Thames Buses was established as the trading name and was effectively a continuation of the Harris Bus business.
		Initially buses diverted off the east end of Eynsham Drive to serve a short section of Sewell Road, but later buses followed the direct route.

		The 328 scored four buses with working ramps out of eight; the 139 scored four out of nine, with two buses having no ramps at all; and the C11 had only one working ramp out of six.

	LONDON BUS GARAGES
		The buses were requisitioned during the war, and then between 1917-1919 the garage was loaned to AEC.
		In 1996 to celebrate the centenary of the garage all the allocated buses were adorned with commemorative badges.
		This was mainly achieved by parking buses on a plot of land behind the garage that was also used to stand vehicles terminating there on layover.

		Fire suppression equipment could be fitted to all buses in London in the wake of fires on three "bendy buses" in the past five months.

		Mr Hendy said he was not sure of how long it would be before further decisions were made on this, but said he did not think any buses outside London were fitted with the fire suppression kits.

		The second, darker half of this middle floor is perfect for a “multiplex” of video installations, a planetarium in which viewers can lose themselves, undisturbed, in the cosmos of digitally generated pictures.
		A very common scene (that can still be seen today) is of 'nordestinos' arriving in packed buses, in the Bus Terminal of the city, in the search of a better life (ironically, it is also common nowadays to see these same buses to carry 'nordestinos' back to their homeland).
		Many of these people don't find a job, many of them do not have any kind of education (most are illiterate), and most, when realizing that their dream of a better life is over, don't have the money to go back, and stay in the city.
