The Historical Evolution of Double-decker Bus

The red double-decker bus first drove into London at 1954. At that time, it had a resounding name called "Road Master". Road owners have replaced the trams that have been used in London for many years. It uses the traditional chassis and front engine, the cab is located on the right side of the engine, and the rear of the bottom compartment is completely open.

The British media once called the road owner "the bus of the future". At that time, the road owner was considered to be light in stature and revolutionary in design. As for why red is chosen as the car body color, no one can really explain it clearly, perhaps just to add a touch of bright color to the foggy city of London.

London is a city with a long history. Many streets are very narrow and crowded. At that time, the disadvantages of trams blocking other traffic became more and more obvious. After the introduction of double-decker buses by the London municipal government, the problem of road traffic congestion in London has been well solved. Statistics show that from 1956 to 1968, * * 2760 double-decker buses were put into use.
