Sightseeing Buses in London 倫敦觀光巴士

Arriva (The Original Tour) and Big Bus are the two main open-top bus tour operators in London. Both companies operate different routes around the city and feature an informative recorded commentary in eight different languages. As of 2009, their fleet includes fully open-top, partial open-top and closed-top buses, and more super-low-floor buses such as Volvo B9TL (East Lancs Visionaire bodywork) are being introduced into their fleets, making their services more accessable to wheelchair users.
High-floor buses are still plenty and comprise a fleet of former Hong Kong buses imported from Kowloon Motor Bus and China Motor Bus/NWFB. These vehicles include: Leyland Olympian(KMB), Dennis Condor(CMB) and MCW Metrobus(CMB).
