Members of the London Assembly have been commenting following the announcement that conductors on the New Routemasters are going to be made redundant.
Lib Dem Caroline Pidgeon blamed Boris Johnson calling the buses "horrendously expensive" and "plagued with faults".
"We will soon be left behind many cities in the world which are rapidly adopting 100% electric buses,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives' Keith Prince said Sadiq Khan's fares freeze "has cost Londoners a very popular feature of these Routemaster services".
“Unfortunately I fear this is just the first of many unpopular cuts within TfL that will impact on commuters and front line staff," he said.

Following Andrew Leadsom's decision to pull out of the race to become leader of the Conservative Party, the timetable is now decided by the 1922 Committee - an influential group of backbench Conservative MPs.
The question of Michael Gove re-entering the contest is up to the 1922 but that is unlikely given his lack of support among MPs.
Should the decision be that Theresa May is leader uncontested she would only become Prime Minister-designate or “PM elect” upon the declaration by the 1922.
She could become PM immediately but that is unlikely given David Cameron will want to pack but the succession could be very swift.
One would think that discussions between Theresa May and Number 10 will begin immediately regarding the transition.
The time between Gordon Brown winning the Labour leadership uncontested and becoming Prime Minister was 38 days:
- Nominations closed and acceptance 17 May 2007
- Victory speech Sunday 24 June 2007
- Handover day Wednesday 27 June 2007
Michael Howard won the leadership uncontested in 2003. There was a week between nominations being opened (29 October 2003) and him becoming Conservative leader (6 November).
Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed 300 jobs will go when the bus conductors who work on Routemaster buses are made redundant.
The firm has released a statement about why the roles are to be scrapped:
The conductors on these routes have done a great job, but the New Routemaster routes that don’t have conductors also operate very effectively and we can no longer justify the £10m of extra costs that could otherwise be invested in modernising the transport network. We are now working with the bus companies to find conductors other opportunities within the transport industry so they can continue to play a part in keeping London moving.”
The cuts to bus conductors are across six routes - 9, 10, 11, 24, 38 and 390.
At present that are 19 other routes that use New Routemasters without conductors.
TfL says it has found having conductors on board makes only a "modest difference to customer satisfaction".
Caroline Pidgeon has called for the Garden Bridge to be halted following reports Sadiq Khan has blocked new funding for the project.

London bus conductors are to lose their jobs as part of cutbacks by Transport for London (TfL).

More than 30 councils from around Britain have signed a letter urging the government to back Heathrow expansion.
The missive to transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin said creating a third runway at Heathrow would create jobs and economic growth.

The decision on airport expansion has been put on hold until "at least October" following the UK's Brexit vote and David Cameron's resignation.
The Guardian is reporting that London Mayor Sadiq Khan has halted preparatory work on the capital's garden bridge.
