In your 17 July 2017 response to question 2017/2661, you stated “This [Pedestrian Struck by Bus Mirrors] information needs to be extrapolated manually from TfL's systems. I have therefore asked TfL to provide this data in writing and send it to you separately.” Can I assume that since you launched Vision Zero in July 2018, that this vital safety information is routinely collected and analysed by TfL’s Chief Safety Officer and its Vision Zero team?

In your response to question 2023/2113, you stated, “Having had additional time to conduct a more thorough search of records, TfL has found information relating to this incident that it shared with the other London bus operators in June 2016. While confident that each individual operator would have made the relevant amendments to its training procedures, it is seeking assurances that these continue to remain in place”. Have you now received assurances from bus operators? Please will you provide evidence that these assurances were sought and verified by TfL?

I recently was apprised of a 5 October 2023 Safety Bulletin issued to all London bus operators “following an incident where an insecure exit door panel allowed a passenger to fall from the moving vehicle”. When and on what Bus Route did this incident occur? What was the bus model? What was the age and injury status of the victim?

Given recent press reports about your intention to speed up roadworks to allow buses to move faster, a review of the TfL’s Board Meeting minutes showed that, on 23 May 2018, “Members noted that in the 2017/18 financial year, TfL completed 38,000 roadworks inspections to check that they were safe and compliant, and this had resulted in a noncompliant safety failure rate of 19 per cent from 2,000 statutory inspections.” Has the failure rate improved since that time? Will you provide me with data for the period 2018/19 to 2022/23 showing the number of roadworks inspected by TfL and the...

In your response to question 2023/3654 you admitted, “Transport for London does not hold route-level data on which routes have buses fitted with ISA.” In your response to question 2023/3441 you admitted, “TfL does not routinely receive information for all incident investigations undertaken by operators and resultant criminal proceedings undertaken by the Metropolitan Police Service.” In your response to question 2023/3333 you admitted, “Our incident reporting system does not specifically collect data relating to disciplinary outcomes”; and in question 2023/0930 you admitted, “The type of shift being worked at the time of an incident is not information that is routinely...

TfL’s ‘Bus Safety Dashboard’ shows that since you’ve been Mayor, 62 people have been killed and 2651 hospitalised from bus collisions. Using the data TfL has been gathering from its speed compliance tool, in how many of these 2713 KSI bus collisions does TfL have evidence that the bus was breaking the law by speeding?

• Meeting date: 16 November 2023

Your shocking admission in response to question 2023/3652 that TfL has data about its bus contractors breaking the law by speeding begs more questions. In any incident where someone is killed or hospitalised by a bus, does TfL automatically supply this information to the Metropolitan Police?

Further to your disappointing response to question 2023/3648, can you explain to me how your Vision Zero goals will be met by having the Commissioner’s Report seemingly ignore people who’ve been hospitalised in the previous period from preventable ‘Bus Safety Incidents’?
