 Double-decker buses:
These iconic red buses are a common sight in London.
Te ikoniczne czerwone
autobusy są powszechnym widokiem w Londynie.

London buses weren’t always red. In the early days of London’s bus
services, operators adopted different color schemes, known as
liveries, to identify routes.
In the 1840s, operators started to cooperate and self-regulate, to limit
numbers of buses on each route, agree timetables, and share income
from fares. They adopted a common name and color schemes called
liveries to identify routes.
In the 1900s, the first sturdy workable motor buses started to appear,
and the larger operators started to differentiate themselves from their
Association partners. In 1905, the London Motor Omnibus Company
adopted the fleet name ‘Vanguard’ and painted their vehicles
predominantly red.
When the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC) took over
Vanguard in 1908, the red livery, the ‘General’ fleet name, and the
wheel symbol came together to form a powerful brand. Red has been
the color of London buses ever since, becoming famous around the
world.
However, other colors have also been used over the years. In the
1920s and 1930s, some buses were painted green, while others were
colored blue or brown. In the 1970s, London Transport experimented
with a range of colors, including yellow, orange, and even pink.
