London's New Routemaster buses commissioned by Boris Johnson for London at huge expense, reintroducing rear doors, are to have them closed to boarding because of widespread fare evasion.
When he was mayor he decided to replace the city’s articulated, single-deck “bendy buses”, in part because he said they encouraged fare-dodging.
Transport for London said the 1,000 New Routemasters in operation would be converted.
The company loses more than £3.6m a year in fares dodged across the new fleet, which has double the evasion rate of other London buses.
Passengers will only be able to board by the front door, with those in the middle and rear becoming exit-only.

Boris, like Trump, has moved on, on his trail of destruction. No accountability, so far at any rate.
