Here here, it really is an issue here. Indeed, when I’ve been to cities across the world, people wouldn’t dream of dropping litter so callously and care free. Here it seems to be the norm. I recently returned from Dubai and was amazed at how clean it is and how polite everyone was even though the country is ran by expats so to speak. Wow, I recently visited Dubai and Abu Dhabi and I have to agree with you, the buses, metro and the general streets and surroundings were spectacularly clean. London's transport system is one of the most well known, high end transport systems in the world and its a shame to see some buses and trains in a disgusting state. I think TfL should implement stricter rules on littering, the extra cash can come in handy due to the TfL being cash strapped and the government stopping their payments to TfL. Brighton & Hove have a no eating or drinking policy on their buses and it shows as their fleet is very clean whilst both the buses & metro in Glasgow were also clean, specially the Metro which was spotless.

Mini rant, weather is getting warm and there are more cases of mcflurry cups all over buses, can't freaking stand these no manner people just trashing the buses man, some of them don't even bother putting it on the floor and just leave them on the seat I mean come on??? I feel like TFL should sort of put more banners up or something in the bus not to scare people off with fare evasion which they don't care anyways, but trashing bus £1000 penalty, you only live once...This is not just the case in outer central London areas, but even in central, tourists get on these buses and the condition of cleanliness is worse than in some public toilets or streets. Ridiculous, welcome to London. I totally agree, the littering on some buses really is disgusting and as soon as there's a hot spell cans and bottles rolling around the bus, a safety hazard apart from anything else. Is it really that difficult for people to take their rubbish with them and put it in a bin?

I was in Glasgow on Saturday and pleased by the cleanliness too. First and McGills already have 19-reg buses in service there, as do Stagecoach in nearby Kilmarnock.

Just wondering are there any routes you can never see leaving the opperator they are at. For me I would say all AF routes are safe excluding the 337, also think 16 at W is safe.

I am completely fed up with the litter that is left on buses, be it on the seat, floor or wherever. People should not eat smelly food on the bus, and take their rubbish away with them. Also I’ve noticed a rise in people listening to music without headphones on buses. It infuriates me how little respect these people have and they are so self centred they only care about their own wants/needs London culture init blud! I only see this kind of thing getting worse. With constant disciplinaries for drivers who do as much as leave their cabins to "have words" with people we don't have the authority anymore. As "Bus Operators" all we now do is open and close doors, operate the brakes and steering wheel and drive like f*ck to maintain 5 bar headways. Fare evasion is no longer our problem, ASB is also not our problem. If in doubt, call NMCC and hope they "send someone down to have a look". The roads are also progressively becoming more busier with more cars on the road and I regularly see more road rage and motorists generally becoming more aggressive. Some of the many reasons I've become fed up of driving in London.

It’s the big PVR routes usually I would see as relatively safe. The 53 has been mentioned, I would also throw the 8, 36, 38 and 149 into that mix.

Obviously the PVR is less than what it used to be.

Obviously the PVR is less than what it used to be. Not really regardless how high the PVR of the 25 is, Stagecoach can run the 25 without any space issues at all with BW, WH & BK all on/near the route and they did ran the 25 when it had bendy buses.

Why do hybrids only rev sometimes when braking?

Why do hybrids only rev sometimes when braking? There's a reason for this, but it's a bit complicated. The battery in a Hybrid is partially recharged when the driver slows down or brakes. ... (However, that's usually not enough to keep the battery fully charged, so the engine can also turn the generator under cruise conditions when it's mostly just loafing along.) SOURCE GOOGLE

SOURCE GOOGLE Did it mention why it revs up? They use regenerative braking every single time, but only rev up when they are going very quickly and brake fairly sharply
