• London Buses is to take another look at banning smoking on all its vehicles.
A survey is planned next month to see if a majority of passengers favour a total ban.
At present smokers are prohibited from lighting up on single-deck and minibuses but can smoke on the upper level of double-deck vehicles.
The London Regional Passengers' Committee has renewed calls for a blanket ban on smoking. Chairman Dr Eric Midwinter says: "Our research has shown that there has been a very significant change in attitudes to smoking on buses, with smoking bans being introduced by bus companies all over the country.
LI Yorkshire Rider introduced a smoking ban on Monday following surveys which showed that 80% of passengers would welcome a smoking ban. YR's Microrider services have been smoke-free from their start two years ago.
