  • Articulated buses, popularly called bendy-buses, were introduced to London in June 2002[citation needed] when the then Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, introduced new Mercedes-Benz Citaros to Red Arrow commuter services 507 and 521. While articulated bus operation had been standard in many other countries, the UK had only sparingly tried their use.[citation needed]Therefore, the introduction of the type in London caused a lot of press attention. As part of his 2008 Mayoral campaign, in 2007 Boris Johnson pledged to withdraw bendy buses and introduce a modern replacement of the Routemaster bus. In 2009, the first three bendy bus routes were to be replaced with conventional low-floor single and double decker buses, and a prototype for a Future Routemaster was to be on the streets by 2012.
