Why are London buses red?
The reason behind their colour dates to the early 1900s, when the transport system was operated by different rival companies. London General Omnibus Company (or L.G.O.C.) owned most of the buses and in 1907 painted its entire fleet red to stand out from competitors.
Why do buses stop for a while?
Mainly in order to maintain schedule. Traffic on the streets is highly unpredictable. There is a certain degree of uncertainty associated with travel times from one stop to another even when the bus way is grade separated from other traffic.
