  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon

Measuring Safety Performance in TfL’s Bus Operation

  • Reference: 2019/14177
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 18 July 2019
Further to your response to Question 2019/12005 you stated: "The London bus safety dashboard over the last four quarters shows an overall improvement in bus safety performance, so it is not true to state there has been a decline in bus safety performance.” However analysis of TfL’s own published bus safety data on its website shows that, in calendar 2018, for each quarter in succession, the number of fatal collisions increased as did the total number of safety-related fatalities. Does TfL have a different measure for assessing the safety of its bus operation?
