In your manifesto you claimed, “Dial-a-Ride and Taxicard schemes remain crucial to my transport plans given how important they are to helping older and less mobile Londoners get around the city.” Given you consider Dial-a-Ride so crucial - and whilst the extension to 10pm over the Christmas period is welcome - when will you be scrapping the curtailment of services at 8pm and extending it to 10pm on a permanent basis?

While you have repeatedly publicly stated that you have long been a supporter of mask wearing on public transport as an effective Covid-19 risk reduction action, a 9 April 2020 email from TfL to Unite the Union released in your long-delayed response to Question 2020/1724 clearly states that the “latest guidance from TfL is masks are not needed”. On what day did you learn that masks worked and what did you do about it? Please provide evidence of your claim that you were lobbying government from that time.

Bus drivers have informed me that it is common practice among TfL bus contractors not to pay sick leave for the first three days for newer staff. While the Covid-19 pandemic persists, will you take immediate action to ensure that all bus workers’ sick days are paid immediately and workers are not forced to go without pay should they choose to protect themselves, their co-workers and their passengers from illness?

A 14 September 2021 memo entitled “Bus Driver Welfare” presented to TfL’s Safety, Sustainability and HR Panel identifies “Routes with a round trip greater than 150 minutes with a toilet provision only at one end” receive only a “Priority 3” classification for action by TfL and its bus operators. Do you agree with me that forcing bus drivers to drive a bus for over 150 minutes without access to a toilet is —(a) dangerous (b) inhumane and (c) probably discriminates against women bus drivers and others with known health conditions? In order not to remain in contravention of prevailing health...
