Bus design

While out and about in London, one of the things I have realized is how some of the busses are designed differently. After doing a bit of research, I was surprised to learn that my new favorite English designer, Thomas Heatherwick. According to his website, the bus is a bit longer than the older version, has two staircases, three doors, and uses 40% less fossil fuel. The corners of the bus are rounded to make it appear a bit smaller, and the front window is angled sown so the bus driver doesn't run over people (which I see as a serious probability here...). Overall, the design is just far superior in the updated bus, so if you're looking to take the bus instead of tube, make sure to hop on Heatherwick's bus!

Here you can see the difference between the busses. The One on the right is the newer design by Heatherwick, while the one on the left is the older version.
