I like when the nanny state is occasionally thwarted by its toddler citizens' wants: the New Routemasters in London are a great example. Rather than the agonising 20-metre, 10-minute wait to the stop, you can assess the road yourself and hop off (and on if you just miss it). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Routemaster Boris, the London mayor, re-introduced these. I look forward to his PMship after Cameron, mainly because of the points he makes about freedom in this piece, using the Routemaster metaphorically (paragraph 7 on). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/10067598/Hop-on-and-off-... |

Unless it's evening, or there's a staff shortage, or it's being run on one of several routes which now never have a second staff member and hence always shut the door between stops.
Such a shame.
