And actually this is a plus for Boris since the new Routemasters are really nice and also better represent London. A red double decker bus is London's style after all.
They need to pass a law to make Taxis black rather than these ones that have adverts all over too.

The bikes were a TfL initiative, not a Ken Livingstone idea. Both mayors benefitted from a competent transport body. However, TfL advised against the new routemasters as the £60k-a-bus cost of a conductor was too expensive and that ended quite quickly making them unnecessary.
Rather than people listing Boris's failures, it might be better to try and understand him a bit better. This article is helpful.
