London’s red bus turns green - Weird News Travels Fast - etravelblackboard.com
Taking an environmentally friendly route, London is set to welcome a
new-look double decker red bus that will be propelled by
battery-powered electric motors.
Using a small diesel motor and fifty percent less carbon
dioxide as well as running near-silent, the bus is set to take-on the
London streets on the 20 February this year.
Built in Northern Ireland, London Lord Mayor Boris Johnson
described it as the “greatest masterpiece of British engineering and
design”.
“It will become a much-loved and iconic vehicle, akin to the
legendary old red Routemaster double-deckers - that were withdrawn
from service in 2005,” the Mayor said.
“Its gleaming red paint and sinuous curves will brighten the
day of all who see it humming along our great city’s street.”
