Sadly, London's famed Routemaster double-decker buses are being retired as of Dec. 9. They are keeping two of the 'tourist' routes but most everything else will be shut down and replaced with "two-part Bendy buses and by angular, modern two-story buses that have all the charm of a brick with wheels." The Routemasters weren't wheelchair accessible and became a liability problem with their high platforms.
Still, Londoners are upset. They've launched a campaign to save the Routemasters and have gotten 11,000 signatures on a petition to mayor Ken Livingstone.
