- HubLog: On A Bus hublog.hubmed.org
More info re. On A Bus: "Enter a route number to display the stops (and switch between alternate routes in the sidebar). A click on a marker or a stop name will show a blow-up map for that location (which can be maximised to show a StreetView of that location, or at least it would if StreetView was available in London). A selection of Wikipedia items near that stop will also be displayed, so you can use this to explore locations along the route; again, these maximise to show the whole Wikipedia page inline."
Why do double decker buses have windows? I’m not talking about the big windows we look out of, but the small letterbox shaped windows above that we can open and close? The answer, obviously, is so that passengers can regulate temperature and ventilation, but they come with a major problem: for half the year, they make passengers on the bus ill. At least, that’s my theory.
