Bendy bus return?

[selondon]

Unsure if it's been covered on here but listening to LBC on the radio there is talk of articulated buses returning due to a 6% drop in bus usage. Any thoughts?

I don't really see how the two things are connected?

Sorry to be a grump but the thread called "London Assembly investigates buses again" is already discussing this and the report. We don't need multiple threads on the same topic even if the words "bendy bus" are creating rather stupid headlines today. The report only suggests bendies on new express routes and not a general return but the headlines do not make this clear.

Maybe as a marketing gimmick for tourists in Central London. It's a terrible idea though.
