In your response to Question 2025/2079, you state "there is rightly concern that 13 people were killed in collisions involving buses in 2024". A quick consolidation of the uncorrelated and, obviously, unaudited fatality data TfL publishes on its downloadable "Bus Safety Data Release" spreadsheet and its "Road fatalities in London since 2019" spreadsheet clearly show that 9 pedestrians and 3 cyclists—i.e., 12 people—were killed in Bus Collision Incidents in 2024, with a further 4 passengers killed in, variously, onboard falls, activity incidents and otherwise undefined preventable safety events.

Following up on your responses to Questions 2025/2076 and 2024/0982, can I presume that TfL neither conducted any analysis nor made any changes to its Bus Contracts to take into account how the 28 January 2022 Changes to the Highway Code might require changes to Bus Timeliness Incentives and Bus Drivers' ability to meet them?

Your responses to Questions 2025/2076 and 2024/0982 suggest that TfL and its contracted Bus Operators are unaware of the fundamental changes to the Highway Code, which came into effect on 28 January 2022, namely: Rule H1 (Danger on the Road: 'States that drivers are the ones who can cause the most significant harm in the event of a collision and that they bear the greatest responsibility when it comes to taking care of and reducing dangers to others around them.' Rule H2 (Pedestrians Crossing): 'Highlighting that at junctions, drivers should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross on...
