British dating website offers busy singles speed dates on London buses

British dating website Match.com offered red "Datemaster" buses to busy London singles on their commute to work this week, which allows Match members to have multiple speed dates in an hour and a half.

From Wednesday to Friday, double-decker buses with the words "Transport for lovin'" on their sides departed from Clapham Junction, Limehouse and Brixton respectively carrying pre-registered members who want to have some romance on the way to work.

Starting at 8 a.m. on the mentioned days with different routes, the services provide members with free breakfast and chances to chat with their partner for five minutes before switching seats.

Before getting passengers to work at 9:30 a.m., the services can merge romance with people's daily commute as many London singles complain that they don't have enough time to date.

According to a survey by Match, 55 percent of single Britons, 57 percent of which are in London, said they don't go on as many dates as they would like because they feel they don't have the time.

"The service has been designed to encourage time-poor Londoners to put their commuting time to good use," the spokesperson of Match website said in a statement.
