The Mayor officially unveiled the New Bus for London on the streets of the capital this morning. We went down to Trafalgar Square to take a look.
The first impressions are good: this is a gorgeous vehicle. Whether you think this is a symbol of 21st-century travel or are convinced that itâs a costly vanity project, the finished product is a beautiful thing to behold. Not since the Routemaster has London seen a bus that looks like itâs been so lovingly designed. The influence of Thomas Heatherwickâs studio, who worked on the project, is clear: the flowing forms of the exterior are matched inside, and every detail, from the recessed lights to the âstopâ buttons, are clearly the product of a heightened aesthetic sense. It is also being described as âthe most environmentally friendly of its kindâ.
