In your response to question 2024/4344, you confirmed that the £160M iBus contract signed March 2024 was never risk-assessed for safety because 'at this stage the contract does not require a safety risk assessment.' At what 'stage' will a project being implemented through a contract that has already been awarded require a safety risk assessment?

In your manifesto you committed to “launching a new plan to cut bus waiting times and exploring new approaches to increase bus ridership and improve the passenger experience, including adding WiFi and phone charging points.” Do you recognise that “adding WiFi and phone charging points” on buses will do considerably less to improve the passenger experience than reducing anti-social behaviour on buses, increasing average bus speeds and reducing bus-related KSIs?

The reduction in bus speeds across London under your Mayoralty has not been accompanied by an increase in bus safety. Do you have any concerns that your approach on buses is not working?

London TravelWatch’s recent bus report found bus speeds were lower in every London Borough than they were before you became Mayor. Why do you think that is?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 16 January 2025

37% of respondents to London TravelWatch’s recent bus survey said there was too much anti-social behaviour on London’s buses. Do you accept this finding and, if so, what are you doing to stamp out anti-social behaviour on London’s buses?
