What do your city's buses look like?

The buses in Hong Kong look like this:

Green Minibus

Single Floor Bus/Coach

Double Decker Bus

How are people getting on with the new 'bendy busses'? There was great agitation when they were introduced into London, the new mayor made his ticket off of the back of them!

Yeah, I think they're supposed to be getting rid of them in London aren't they? Have they already done that? I never understood what was wrong with them.

I think it was something to do with them making the skies dark and small children cry when they went by. Seriously, not too clued up as to whats going on with them (some impression that they're still about but running down their contract?).

Probably Londoner's just moaning- I had a look through one of the Anglesey timetables and saw this beauty- you have to wonder at a place where they only let the inhabitants out once a week for three hours! (nb the lack of disabled access and the names to the left of the service numbers are that of the companies)

Himeji, Japan:

Clean, quiet, safe and always on time to the minute (just like the rest of Japanese public transportation). Not utterly disgusting and ghetto like the Minneapolis buses. It's pretty nice to live somewhere where citizens respect their city/country, and don't trash it.

Pretty soon like this:

Brand-new, designed from the ground up for London Routemaster buses

Edit to add: we also have a few Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Buses running around that look like this

I'm bored, and the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) has more than buses. So here's what everything looks like. I use it from time to time, it's not bad. Except when I worked downtown and had to take the subway to work during rush hour crowded and always delayed. I couldn't even call in late since I was usually stuck in a tunnel with no reception


TTC buses
New buses

Most of them look like this

streetcars

This what our new streetcars might look like

Oh God, ditto. I think it's a total travesty that a city like Toronto has such archaic, underdeveloped, and expensive public transportation like ours. I'm not sure what's going on with Transit City and Metrolinx and The Big Move, etc., right now, but let's just say that regardless, bureaucracy sucks.

I can't wait until I have a career and can move to Asia where the politicians are also engineers, so things actually get done.

Wow- beautifully clean place you've got there. How are people getting on with the new 'bendy busses'? There was great agitation when they were introduced into London, the new mayor made his ticket off of the back of them!

I really love Calgary - I think some study showed we've got quite a clean city. People love the bendy busses! They carry a lot of people but they're quick and quiet to ride on, they're a fantastic way to get about.

For the other Torontonians

Haha. I remember seeing this before. If only...

For the non-Torontonians, the reality is MUCH sadder:

Yes... that's our entire subway system, at least for the next decade I imagine, with the rate at which things get done here.
