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?

  • Meeting date: 18 July 2019
In response to a motion passed by the London Assembly on the 8 th March 2017 on Uber and workers’ rights you stated: “I am also exploring what more I can do to protect workers’ rights through the powers in my possession.” Two years on from making such a statement what has been the outcome of exploration of this issue?

Fare Evasion

  • Reference: 2019/14170
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 18 July 2019
A constituent has requested that you answer this question. Fare evasion seems to be getting worse on the London Underground and by the time revenue inspectors catch up with offenders, the penalty of £80, or £40 if paid within 14 days, is well worth the risk to them. However, carrying an open container of alcohol on the Underground has a maximum penalty of £1,000, albeit never enforced. Would you consider raising the penalty fare to create a much stronger deterrent for fare evaders?

  • Meeting date: 18 July 2019
