  • Dangerous Bus Contract Incentives

    • Reference: 2024/0203
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2024
    A long-running investigation by The Times details the collision KSIs and poor working conditions (long hours, distracted driving) associated with contracted timeliness targets embedded into delivery driver contracts and found on delivery driver dashboard technology. In your response to question 2022/5399 you instructed me that “[contracted bus] performance information that is appropriate for sharing” and “routinely made available on the TfL website” are precisely the same kinds of timeliness targets that The Times has long exposed as dangerous for delivery drivers and that bus drivers have informed the Transport Committee are in place for them. Please explain why time-based headway...

  • Dangerous Bus Contract Incentives: iBus Monitor Displays

    • Reference: 2024/0204
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2024
    While reading a recent article in The Times (22 December “DPD drivers put public safety at risk to hit their delivery targets”) I was struck by how much DPD’s now-discontinued “Traffic Light” system ‘that would show red if a driver was in danger of missing a delivery target’ resembled the headway monitor found in every TfL bus cab. As you know, iBus monitors display how many “bars” are between a driver’s bus and the bus ahead and the bus following, with – as I’m reliably informed by bus drivers – anything other than “5 Bars” showing between each bus being...

  • Failure to Update Contracts to Include New Safety Incentives in May 2016

    • Reference: 2024/0205
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2024
    On 1 February 2016, the previous Mayor committed TfL to "Update TfL's bus contracts to include new safety incentives - Over the next three months TfL will be updating their bus contracting system and will develop incentives to encourage an even greater focus on safety". However, under your leadership, these fundamental safety changes never happened. In July 2016, in response to question 2016/2455, you indicated to Caroline Russell AM that TfL had changed “Update TfL's bus contracts to include new safety incentives…over the next 3 months” to “Introduction of Bus Safety Standard into Bus Contracts” by “December 2017”. In October...

  • Speed Compliance Tool

    • Reference: 2024/0206
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2024
    In your response to question 2023/4793, you stated, “TfL does not map data from the Tool to individual incidents” because “there are several known inaccuracies within the Speed Compliance Tool dataset”. I recently had the chance to view a Training Video (https://youtu.be/6AqpayPhxn4) produced by TfL’s largest bus contractor Go Ahead London in which the speaker directly contradicted your claims by revealing that TfL’s speed compliance tool “shows them [TfL] everything about the bus breaking the speed limit” and that “it shows them where it happened, what time it happened, what speed the bus was actually doing at the time…it also...

  • Speed Compliance Tool: Information Contained in Recent Go-Ahead London Training Video

    • Reference: 2024/0207
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2024
    The speaker in Go Ahead’s ‘London Speed Compliance Tool Training Video’ (https://youtu.be/6AqpayPhxn4) revealed that there were 1472 incidents of Go Ahead London buses speeding on Route 5 in November 2023. Can we assume that the speeding behaviour of Go Ahead London bus drivers on Route 5 in November 2023 is typical across all London bus routes? I ask, because – given Go Ahead London’s assertion that TfL’s speed compliance tool “shows them [TfL] everything about the bus breaking the speed limit” - that statement suggests that TfL knows that there might be an average of about 12 million speeding incidents...
