  • Consequences of Johnson v TfL Judgement

    • Reference: 2023/2797
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2023
    In the judgment of Johnson v TfL, it has been accepted that the only licensable taxi from new is the LEVC taxi which TfL has accepted costs over £100,000. This cost prevents many disabled taxi drivers from working as taxi drivers and also prevents many parents with childcare responsibilities from working part-time. Do you agree with me that TfL has failed with its vehicle conditions of fitness policy? Furthermore, given the policy has not been updated since 2007 to take into consideration the 2010 Equality Act, do you agree that TfL’s conditions of fitness policy may well be discriminatory?

    In your response to question 2023/0920 you undertook to inform me when TfL had ‘resolved a technical issue it had identified with TfL’s bus safety dashboard which caused a small number of records in its system to display incorrectly (or in this case, not display)’, in this case 3 fatalities from bus safety incidents in 2022. Has this technical issue been resolved or is TfL’s bus safety dashboard data still unreliable?
