New 484s

[OutOfFocus]

Following thread on 176s I noticed some 484s are one-door.

Any reason for this backward step. For more difficult to get off when they're busy.

[DulwichFox]

Maybe there is a problem with people jumping ON the bus without Tapping in with an Oyster card / Pass.

Its cheaper to have one door than two

[ED209]

The 484 buses need an extra floor, not a door less.

There's a pledge that all busses will be zero emitting - could it be related ?

[Saffron]

I read these are temporary, but I don't have any more details. xx

[OutOfFocus]

That figures. Seen them mainly in rush hour

[Bic Basher]

If any of the allocated buses need repairs, they will allocate other single door buses to the route to ensure a full service remains. This also happens on the P13, also operated by Abellio.

In 21st-century English, buses is the preferred plural of the noun bus. Busses appears occasionally, and dictionaries list it as a secondary spelling, but it?s been out of favor for over a century. This is true in all main varieties of English.

VERB

busses (third person present)

transport in a communal road vehicle:

"staff were bussed in and out of the factory

Buss = kiss
