Bye Bye Old Trolley Buses

[stretchedout]

The new buses are way to costly.  A mil each!  Bring back the old ones, like this but painted white:

I'm not sure....but I think it was mainly a part of their tourist and sightseeing thing, although they are a part of their regular transit fleet.  Victoria was often touted as being similar in atmostphere to parts of jolly old England (after all, it is named after the queen).  I've never been on one.
 
I believe the quote is something like "more british than the british"

In part the double decker busses are not designed to go very fast (i.e. rather top heavy) as such they are fine for Victoria because that fricken fracken blue haired, prune gobbling, raisin headed granny has forgotten that the gas pedal is the long skinny one - and that click click click sound is her left turn signal not her damn pace maker tends to drive slowly.

Or so I have heard.

Ah, they're lovely, aren't they?

[Sportsdude]

indeed. I have yet to take one though.

I recommend that you have your maiden trip sitting upstairs on a very windy day and following a route which has several sharp bends.

There's a lot of privacy up top of those double decker busses for those unmentionable activities.  LOL

I've seen them turned into homes.
