But yet in London with narrow streets, traffic in far greater volumes than
Sydney,
universally uses double deckers.  Modern buses, both single and double
deckers, are equipped with power steering, brakes etc, why would a double
decker be any harder to drive is this respect?   Having ridden buses in both
London and Sydney I would back a London double decker against a Mercedes
O305 any day.
