At the January 2017 Transport Committee meeting, Leon Daniels (Managing Director, Surface Transport, TfL) said, "In respect of articulated buses, their worst feature was the level of fare evasion, I am afraid. In the current financial situation, that really could not be encouraged". I would like to know the cost per km per passenger carried of an articulated bus versus a double decker bus. Therefore please provide me with details of the current operating cost and capacity of a double deck bus and an historical figure for the operating cost and capacity of an articulated bus.
