So it's goodnight to all the old Routemaster buses, is it? Another symbol of my native city being expelled to the wasteland of history? No more conductors, no more jumping on and off down Oxford Street (the only place they made sense); they will be missed. But not by disabled people - they were hardly accessible to wheelchairs. And for that reason, they must surely retire. So where can you ride the Routemaster? Why, here in Davis, of course! The only problem is, if you hop off (a la Oxford St), you will be in the middle of the road. They drive on the other side here, you know. I wonder if they thought that through when they bought them?
au revoir et bonjour, routemaster
