The Routemaster Double-Decker buses, well-known as icons of London, measure 9.160 yards in length. The buses were said to be well-designed for travel in the London traffic, as they offered an open door for riders to board and exit even while the bus was moving at low speeds, and a full-time conductor to collect fares.
