So, the first buses appeared in England in the first half of the 19th century, namely, in 1829. They were called "omnibuses" and were pulled by horses. The first prototypes of the modern double-Decker buses had a private first class for the wealthy and an outdoor second for ordinary people.

Over time the omnibuses had padded rails, and with the advent of electricity the omnibuses were replaced with double-Decker trams. Then they were replaced by trolleybuses, in parallel with which appeared, and modern buses.

The most famous double-Decker bus called the Routemaster . This bus appeared in the capital of England in 1956 and became a popular symbol of London and the country as a whole. The reason for such great popularity were many, but chief among them, undoubtedly, was a unique design " Rootmaster ". This bus had no doors, and the entrance-exit of passengers was made through the open rear platform. Thanks to this unusual design is to get off the bus it was possible not only at stops but also in traffic jams, at traffic lights and intersections.

A few years ago Routemaster was decided to remove from the streets of London, as it did not meet modern safety requirements. However, on routes 9 and 15 old buses are still riding. After the cancellation of " Rutmastery " were put on sale, and they willingly sold out the museums, private individuals and commercial companies . Today, these popular buses can be found in Canada, Malaysia, Japan and other countries.
