Letter from TfL Commissioner to Bus Operators re ’Special Leave for Vulnerable Bus Drivers'

  • Reference: 2021/0529
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
In your response to 2021/0130, you appear to suggest that the Transport Commissioner hasn’t received any formal written confirmation from Bus Operators that they’ve agreed to his ‘urge’ that they give special leave for vulnerable Bus Drivers. Kindly provide me with any written confirmation that TfL has received from each Bus Operator confirming that the Commissioner’s ‘urge’ has been accepted and is being implemented by them. Accordingly, please also provide details as to how TfL are monitoring the conduct of that process.

  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 25 February 2021

I have requested that you provide bus driver deaths from Covid-19 by “place of work” which includes both the Bus Operator and the Bus Operator’s Depot associated with the victims. Given that the Bus Safety Data TfL publishes every quarter shows the month, location, Bus Route Number, the garage...

  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
Your partial response to Question 2021/0127 contained even less information than your response to 2020/2533. Please provide me with a breakdown of Bus Driver deaths from Covid-19 by Bus Operator and explain why this requested information was not included in your latest response.

  • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
Do you believe your actions as Mayor have lived up to your answer to question 2016/1804, in which you told Assembly Member Eshalomi MP “This expectation was supported by TfL's own Bus Lane Policy, which asserts that taxis 'fulfil demands that cannot be met by the bus, train or tube”, and by previous Mayoral statements on the importance of taxi access to bus lanes?
