Why bother getting on a bus? The McD's where he stopped at must have been busy after Kings Cross was evacuated. Why not detonate it there? Why not head to the crowds outside KC? Run into them shouting "Allah Akhbar!" then press the button.

Because it was being used to maximum effect to cripple public transport to hurt Britain,like air transit was hurt after 9/11 they tried the same thing with Madrid.

Why did the camera in the bus not work that day when it's in the camera companies interest to make sure they are working, plus it was recently checked?

Terrorists learned from 9/11 you can hurt Countries by bringing them to a stand still.

But he supposedly blew up a bus! That closed a small section of one road in London. It hardly brought anything to a standstill.
He could have taken his bomb onto a national rail line (like that he used to arrive on from Luton, it goes through the City of London at Blackfriars) and detonated it there and brought that system to standstill. He didn't.
If the 7/7 bombers really wanted to cause chaos they should have gone after Heathrow Airport tube stations. Not only shut down the tube but backlogs worldwide through air delays.
I thought after the explosion on the bus the whole bus network in London was suspended. Think that caused alot of problems perhaps not to a standstill but certainly causing many difficulties
