In 1850 Thomas Tilling started horse bus services, and in 1855 the
London General Omnibus Company or LGOC was founded to amalgamate and
regulate the horse-drawn omnibus conveniences then operating in London.
In 1912 the Underground Group, which at that time owned mainly of the
London Underground, bought the LGOC.
In the 1980s the government of Margaret Thatcher decided to privatise
the bus operating industry in the United Kingdom, which at that occasion
was dominated by London Transport in London, big municipally-owned
operators in additional major cities and the government-owned National
Bus Company and Scottish Bus Group elsewhere. With the move to tendered
contracts for TfL routes, the London specification was further enforced
as being part of tender proposals, invariably specifying new buses.
An episode of TOP GEAR has the Presenter Richard Hammond
overseeing a Drag Race between different types of Buses used in London to
look at which was the best ! Bendy buses have three sets of doors, and
passengers along with season tickets or Oyster cards can board
articulated buses using any set of doors.
Routemaster buses are not obtainable to passengers in wheelchairs and
other mobility impaired passengers. Long-distance coaches link London
together with the be calm of the UK and with other cities in Europe.
Recently competition for long distance traffic has been introduced by
Megabus, a subsidiary of the substantial UK bus operating company
Stagecoach. 11-to-15-year-olds go away free on buses along with an 11-15
Oyster photocard (and at reduced charge on additional TfL services).
