In a recent interview, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney didn’t have to think twice about what he missed most after he became famous: that he couldn’t take the bus so easily in Liverpool. As a child, he’d spent half an hour there and half an hour back to school in a double-decker bus, up in the front, where you have this huge windshield that gives you a wonderful view of the city streets from some height. “I loved to observe the people,” he explained. He also used to take the bus to John Lennon’s house: change at Penny Lane.
