If a bus inspires such hatred that a man gets elected on a million vote mandate because he promised to get rid of them, then that is reason enough to get rid of them.
Ordinary buses do not make people hate them with such a passion, and the Routemaster was positively loved. Why does it always have to come down to stats and figures? Bendy buses dehumanised the city just a bit more, and by getting rid of them it becomes just that bit more human again.
