Cyclist / pedestrian detection equipment trial Aug 1, 2014 14:05:48 GMT

There going to be a trial of pedestrian / cyclist detection equipment on 2 buses on route 25 and 2 on route 73. Apparently the system audibly alerts the bus driver to the presence of cyclists / pedestrians / motorcyclists if they get close to the vehicle.

TfL press release

It's also been on BBC London.
