Double-decker bus

London's red double-decker buses are one of London's most recognizable symbols. Horse-drawn double-deckers first appeared in the 1850s, and motorized versions took over in the early 1900s. The modern New Routemaster entered service in 2012 and carries up to 87 passengers across two decks. The top deck sits about 4.4 meters above the road — high enough to see over most traffic. Double-deckers move 6.5 million passengers per day across London's 675 bus routes. The iconic red color was standardized in 1907 by the London General Omnibus Company.
