Air conditioning on bendy-buses? Have I missed something?!

The SEATING capacity on a bendy-bus is less than on a Routemaster and
it weighs almost twice as much. Not a particularly efficient use of
energy, methinks!

What about the muscle-spasm or knocked heads that are inevitably
experienced when bendies go over bumps or around corners?

More to the point, has the 38 as many bendy-buses on it as it had
Routemasters? The 73's frequency is a shadow of it's former RM self.



Waiting for my daily 341 to Waterloo outside Angel station, there seem
to be plenty of 73's. It's bad enough when two arrive together
followed by my bus, I'm not looking forward to tomorrow when the 38's
add to the congestion.
