  • Manifesto: Launching a new plan to cut bus waiting times

    • Reference: 2024/1534
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    While your 2024 election manifesto fails to contain the words “bus drivers” or “pedestrians”, as it did more than once in 2021, I note your commitment to “launch a new plan to cut bus waiting times”. According to TfL's published data, 2023's 28,114 bus collisions (an average of 77 per day) represents an increase of 10 percent over 2022 and the highest number of recorded bus crashes since 2017. Given that we've seen a decrease in total bus mileage, bus fleet numbers, bus drivers, average bus speeds and bus passengers during this period – all trends which would tend to...

  • Bus Safety Data: Reason for Difference in Bus Injury Incident numbers shown on Bus Safety Dashboard and Bus Injury CSV Data Releases

    • Reference: 2024/1535
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    My analysis of the Bus Injury Incident Data TfL publishes every quarter on its website shows that the Bus Safety Incident Injuries shown on the Bus Safety Dashboard are consistently 20% lower than the granular data for the same period found in the CSV files on the same TfL website. How do you explain that, for the 10-year period 2014-2023, the CSV files show 1686 more bus safety incident injuries than what is shown on the Bus Safety Dashboard?

  • Bus Safety: Bus KSI Data

    • Reference: 2024/1536
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    Please will you provide me with 2 CSV files containing the raw data used to produce (a) Figure 3 on page 19 of TfL's Bus Safety Strategy published in September 2023 and (b) Figure 20 on page 29 of TfL's Travel in London 2023 Annual overview presented to the TfL Board Meeting on 13 December 2023?

  • Vision Zero: Q1 2024 Bus Crash Deaths

    • Reference: 2024/1537
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    How do you reconcile your Vision Zero ‘ambition' with the fact that TfL's 5 deaths of pedestrians from bus crashes in the first three months of this year, evidenced in TfL's recently-updated Quarterly Bus Safety Data Release, make it the worst quarter for bus crash deaths in nearly a decade?

  • Vision Zero: Manifesto

    • Reference: 2024/1538
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    Does the fact you mentioned Vision Zero only once on page 59 of your 67-page election manifesto – and, even then, only as an “ambition” and not the “Plan” you labelled it in your 2021 Manifesto and that you have defined it as in many of your responses to Mayor's Questions since July 2018 – imply that Vision Zero is no longer a policy priority for your third Mayoral term?

  • Vision Zero: TfL's New Incident Reporting System

    • Reference: 2024/1539
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    In your response to question 2024/0178, you stated "Transport for London (TfL) is in the process of developing a new incident reporting system which will record all incident information in a single database across all modes." Please will you provide me with (a) any initiating memorandum detailing the rationale for the new system, (b) its terms of reference/specification and (c) a project timeline showing milestones for its development and implementation?

  • Bus Driver Fatigue: Monitoring Appropriate Total Level of Bus Drivers' Stand/Recovery Time

    • Reference: 2024/1540
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    In your response to question 2024/0177, you stated “The appropriate total level of stand / recovery time will therefore vary by the route and location, and Transport for London requires operators to take account of this." Am I correct to conclude from your response that TfL has no formal procedure in place by which it monitors or risk assesses the amount of stand/recovery time provided to bus drivers in all its bus route schedules?

  • Manifesto Commitments (6)

    • Reference: 2024/1541
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    In your manifesto you promised, “I’ll also work with a Labour government to explore the potential benefits and means of bringing bus operations into public ownership.” Do you believe there are any potential downsides to bringing bus operations into public ownership?

  • Manifesto Commitments (5)

    • Reference: 2024/1542
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    In your manifesto you promised “I will continue to deliver my Vision Zero ambition – the elimination of all deaths and serious injuries from London’s streets by 2041”. Do you believe that achieving Vision Zero by 2041 can be done by continuing with the same approach or will that approach require significant changes?

  • Manifesto Commitments (4)

    • Reference: 2024/1543
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2024
    In your manifesto you promised to explore “greater devolution of rail services and what lines could be better run by TfL.” Is your aspiration that TfL should run rail services under the same model as the London Underground or have control of rail contracts, whilst contracting out the running of those lines, on the same model as the London Overground?
