	London Buses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		London Buses is the subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL) that manages bus services within Greater London.
		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.

	Buses in London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The London Bus is one of London's principal icons, with the archetypal red, rear entrance, double deck, Routemaster bus being recognised world-wide.
		This regime is still in place, although the ownership of London Buses moved from the central (UK) government controlled London Regional Transport to the Mayor of London's transport organisation, Transport for London in 2000, as part of the formation of the new Greater London Authority.
		All such buses are painted in a largely red colour scheme, with only minor variations and logos to distinguish the operator in question, and operate the same fare regime.

		Across the great sprawl of London, from Potters Bar in the north, Thurrock in the east, Caterham to the south and Slough to the west, 6,500 buses flow through the capital, carrying the masses from the morning commuter swell to the last trickle of late-night revellers.

		The buses are quiet here, an area far enough from the hubbub of central London for the bulk of its residents to be car owners.

	London Buses (UK)
		London Buses UK In 1965 I started with LT buses as a driver at Loughton Garage Essex - I drove many types of buses that you will hear about.
		I am sure the buses in the US have the same problems as we do in London, mostly in the big towns where traffic is a big problem.

		London, as with most other large cities, has some areas where for reasons of personal safety even the police prefer not to go out on their own.
