I quite enjoy reading Gizmodo, although I’ve noticed they are pretty clueless on things Asian – and my emails correcting them usually go unanswered, oh well. However, it appears Gizmodo is also very cluelessky on things British. Point in case: Driverless Buses Headed to London, May Miss It, which comes with the [albeit funny] misleading picture:

Looks like a little Photoshopping has been done to remove part of the ads on the side of the bus, too. But a Korean bus it is, nonetheless. Nothing to do with London, move along. Anyway, this image is a keeper, since this is a picture of a Seoul bus before the reform of Seoul’s Bus network, where all bus went RGB: Red for longer distances, and all-seaters, Blue and Green for long distances, but Ferris-wheel style: hang on to anything that’s bolted to the bus: seats, handles, ajummas, whatever; and Yellow for local routes.

Of course some say GRBY is the abbreviation of 지랄 버스야, but who am I to say?

I think this bus is called an AeroBus, which is appropriate for the picture.
