New innovations unleashed and the news of more electric single deckers, including the arrival of London Bus Route 358's new Mercedes Citaro rigid buses!

Let's start with the new innovation techs!

Intelligent Speed Assistance Adaptation
This allows the bus(es) to be limited to the speed limit in the zone it is in by using a GPS system reading the speed limits in the zone where the bus is around and sets the limit to the maximum of the bus' capabilities therefor when drivers accelerate and reach the limit, say 20mph the bus won't override 20mph.

This technology is being tested on routes 19 and 486, TfL seeing the routes having different road environments. Here are the screenshots of what is given to the drivers.
