Vision Zero: Playing politics with TfL's Quarterly Bus Safety Performance Data

  • Reference: 2025/0123
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
In your response to 2024/4349, you blamed the August 2024 "cyber security incident" for TfL's failure to produce any ‘Bus Safety Performance’ data dated after 30 June. Despite your claims that "TfL aims to make it [Quarterly Bus Safety Data] available on the bus safety data page no later than the last day of the calendar month immediately following the end of a quarter", TfL has evidenced the same dilatory behaviour in reporting its ‘Quarterly Bus Safety Performance Data’ for the second half of every year since 2018. Given TfL's longstanding 'tradition' of delaying publication of this data, can you...

Vision Zero: Decision to Excuse TfL COO from 10 May 2024 Meeting with Bus Crash Victims' Families

  • Reference: 2025/0122
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
In your response to question 2024/4347, you excused TfL's COO from being present at a 10 May 2024 meeting with bus crash victims because 'the Chief Operating Officer had recently started in the role, it was decided it would be more appropriate for senior managers to attend the meeting'. While she served as Director of Bus Operations at Transport for London from 23 October 2017 to 5 March 2021, TfL's COO oversaw a bus operation that had 87 preventable deaths. Given the COO's long experience in dealing with scores of deaths generated from a contracted bus operation she managed, who...

Vision Zero: Misleading Reporting about TfL's Bus Safety Performance

  • Reference: 2025/0121
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
Your responses to questions 2024/3450, 2024/3719, 2024/3720, 2024/3721, 2024/3722 and 2024/4346 confirmed that TfL has taken a conscious decision to under-report collision deaths and injuries involving its contracted bus fleet. How does this well-evidenced policy reconcile with the intent and spirit of your 'Vision Zero' ambitions?

Safety Risk and TfL's 'standard project methodology'

  • Reference: 2025/0120
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
In your response to question 2024/4344, you confirmed that the £160M iBus contract signed March 2024 was never risk-assessed because, inter alia, 'the project is adhering to TfL’s standard project methodology'. Since the announcement of your Vision Zero 'ambitions' in July 2018, has TfL's 'standard project methodology' ever (a) been modified to include ‘Safety Risk Assessment’ criteria or (b) itself, been subject to any ‘Safety Risk Assessment’?

Safety Standards Provisions found in TfL's New iBus Contract

  • Reference: 2025/0119
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
In your response to question 2024/4344, you stated that "the new iBus Contract includes provisions for Transport for London’s (TfL’s) safety standards, including Direct Vision Standard." As you know, TfL's Direct Vision Standard only applies to HGVs, not buses. Accordingly, please will you provide me with a copy of the specific provisions of the new iBus contract that directly cite or relate to those TfL's safety standards that directly pertain to Buses?
