New London Routemaster bus for the 21st Century

The bus would carry 48 people on the upper deck and 28 on the lower and be built from lightweight materials. It would be made largely of aluminium, and be three tonnes lighter than a modern, steel-framed double-decker. It would cost about £150,000 ($265,000) — a third more than a modern bus — but the gap could narrow over time with economies of scale.
