A New Bus for London Exhibition
February 16, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The 27 winning designs and 50 other noteworthy entries from Mayor of London Boris Johnson's New Bus for London competition are now on display in an exhibition at London Transport Museum until 29 March 2009.
Among the entries on display will be the winning collaborative design by Aston Martin/Foster + Partners, which was lauded for its "overall styling package" combing traditional Routemaster features with modern technology.
The exhibition will also include the meticulously rendered technical designs from Capoco Design (which has 30 years' experience in the bus industry) and the team of Hector Serrano, Minarro Garcia and Javier Estaban, who have designed for Pininfarina, Renault and Ford.
Many of the designs on display consider pressing transportation issues such as accessibility and emissions reduction.
Others are more fanciful - the "London Bath-Bus" design proposes to convert the Routemaster into a mobile spa in order create a more relaxing experience for London travellers.
