dunno, but there are loads
Keith adds. If you mean the traditional looking AEC Routemaster (and similar makes) traditionally associated with London, then there are only six left running. These are on specific tourist routes. AEC, Daimler and other bus makers stopped the traditional D.D. bus in the 1980s. They were slowly phased out and replaced with D.D. buses seen everywhere slse such as Scanias, Volvos Etc. The current Mayor, Boris (weird last name) commissioned a new 'traditional D.D. Bus in 2010. It was recently released and loks nothing like the traditional bus. It does have a rear platform but that's it. The winning design did actually look like the old buses but it was 'modified' and looks like (in my opinion) crap.
