There were some fatalities that got a lot of attention in the media. There was also a problem with fare evasion. Some were catching fire as well. A perfect storm of issues.

The British press really never misses a chance to do the wrong thing huh.

In this case it was the right thing. Double deckers are better.

I didn't know until now that they're only common in Britain. I guess when travelling you don't notice things like "there aren't many double decker buses".

Also don't forget changing anything is a great opportunity for grift and politicking. Test. Evaluate. Plan. Consult. Pilot. Source. Phase out. Phase in. Maintain. A lot of public money to distribute! A lot of project credit-taking and future-progress-aligning to be image-jacked!

So we should never change anything?

So we should just cede management to the AI and get about solely in personal transport that is tracked and logged and authorized at every turn?

Have you considered walking or biking? If you live in a car dependent area, that's a choice you made.
