Are you satisfied with the level of consultation TfL is undertaking with pensioner groups and disabled people over the creation of cycle routes that bypass bus stops?

In response to question 2015/4220 (CIRAS introduction for coaches operating in London) the Mayor said: "TfL has limited jurisdiction over coaches operating in London. Unlike bus operators, coach operators are not contracted by TfL". However, under the GLA Act 1999 any coach operating in London must have a London Service Permit (LSP) issued by TfL. S.187 GLA Act 1999 gives TfL very broad authority to attach conditions to the LSP, and specifically mentions public safety as an example of an area where conditions could be introduced. The only area the legislation says a condition can't be attached to an LSP...

In October 2015 I asked (2015/3115) about the annual take up of TfL's free cycling training and the steps being taken to promote it. The figures showed that since 2010 take up of the training has remained stagnant, with 8,350 adults trained in 2010/11 and 7,910 in 2014/15. Given London's very large and ever-increasing population and given relatively low take up rates of cycling among women and black and minority ethnic groups, surely there is room for improvement on this front. What new measures could TfL take to increase public awareness of the training and to encourage higher levels of...

A drawback with the season ticket system is that it is only relevant to people with conventional working patterns, whereas increasingly in London people work more flexibly. It can also discourage people who have paid for a season ticket from using alternative forms of transportation, such as cycling. A flexible season ticket system, where people could buy a set number of days within an annual or monthly timeframe at an advantageous rate, could help part time and flexible workers and at the same time encourage more Londoners to cycle to work. Southern Railways has run a trial along these lines...
