It was a design classic. Were Routemasters really dangerous The back of the bus was an open platform with no doors. Perhaps this wasn't very safe--but Londoners like to do their own thing. And the Routemasters were fast in the traffic. Modern buses are safe, but they are slow. Passengers hate the doors. Car drivers hate the buses. The bus drivers have a hard time. The first Routemasters were on our roads in 1954. The last official Routemaster journey was on Route Number 9, on 15th February 2006. That was some years ago. Today, Londoners remember the Routemaster's name. They remember the designer's name: Douglas Scott. The new buses don't have a name.
