red bus

Iconic British vehicle

A red bus is a double-decker bus painted in the distinctive red livery associated with London's public transit system.

The red bus has become an iconic symbol of London, appearing on postcards, souvenirs, and in films: We hopped on a red bus to see the city.

Outside London, red bus may simply describe any bus that happens to be red.
