\n\u2022 Though still incomplete, New Delhi’s subway system is already being hailed as “a runaway success”. According to the The New York Times<\/a> not only is the Delhi Metro “scrupulously clean, impeccably maintained and almost unfailingly punctual” it also boasts cheap fares, and, even more incredibly, manages to turn an operating profit.<\/p>\n

\u2022 London’s Routemasters, the red doubledecker buses the city is famous for, are getting replaced. While still the iconic red, the new fleet, designed by Thomas Heatherwick and Wrightbus, will be significantly more sustainable and sleeker than the older models. The Architects Newspaper<\/a> hosts a video on the design features of the new bus, scheduled to hit the road by 2012.<\/p>\n
