The data provided in your helpful and quick response to question 2024/0764 shows that during the four-year period from 2016/17 to 2019/20, 91 people were sent to hospital from bus garages after safety incidents, while during the four-year period from 2020/21 to 2023/24 year to date, only 6 "serious injuries" have been recorded at bus garages. Although you warn that "the two datasets below are not directly comparable" because TfL changed the 'metric' between the periods, you failed to provide any documentation that might explain the reasoning behind TfL's decision to make this substantive change. Can you provide the decision...
