Pedal Confusion

  • Reference: 2021/4905
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 December 2021
Further to your response to question 2016/2968, it appears that the only research TfL has published on pedal confusion entitled “Identifying Solutions to Pedal Confusion in Buses” is dated 18th February 2011. This research identified 17 solutions to pedal confusion. How many of these 17 solutions were implemented? Does TfL have any more recent research on this long-standing bus safety issue?

Further to your responses to questions 2021/1959, 2021/1960, 2021/1961, 2021/1962 and 2021/1963, a recent press report (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/10/13/lond-o13.html) published copies of a document that is alleged to be a January 2021 memo from TfL that has already concluded that “Operators should continue to be able to introduce remote sign-on facilities.” If this document indeed exists, please provide me with a copy.

Safety and Equality Act Consideration of Bus Routes without adequate Bus Driver Welfare Facilities

  • Reference: 2021/4901
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 December 2021
A 14 September 2021 memo entitled “Bus Driver Welfare” presented to TfL’s Safety, Sustainability and HR Panel identifies “Routes with a round trip greater than 150 minutes with a toilet provision only at one end” receive only a “Priority 3” classification for action by TfL and its bus operators. Do you agree with me that forcing bus drivers to drive a bus for over 150 minutes without access to a toilet is —(a) dangerous (b) inhumane and (c) probably discriminates against women bus drivers and others with known health conditions? In order not to remain in contravention of prevailing health...
