Per seat, RMs win by even more. Per passenger, crush-loaded, the
bendis probably only use slightly more fuel than RMs.

I've not counted them, but I'm fairly sure that *any* of the double
deckers, including RMs, have more seats. Which would show that TfL's
claim that Bendies are more comfortable is a lie. Certainly I've
always got a seat on proper busses, and never on Bendies.

They also maintained that bendy buses were safer than Routemasters.
For occupants, maybe - fewer falls from platforms. The jury's still
out on their effects on cyclists and motorcyclists.

Idiots falling from the back of RMs is just Mr. Darwin at work. I
never fall off because I am capable of holding on to the pole.
