Your response to MQT 2016/3565 stated that TfL had no information on the health of the 61 people who had been sent to hospital with serious injuries as a result of a TfL Bus Collision in the first quarter of 2016.

On item 7.2 of the papers for TfL’s Safety, Sustainability and Human Resource Panel, dated the 17 th November 2016, it is stated that “since the launch of the 'Sarah Hope Line’ in March, there have been nine calls regarding incidents involving buses.” Does the huge disparity between the number of bus injuries reported and the paucity of calls handled by the Sarah Hope Line suggest that TfL is not doing enough to publicise the existence of this service?

At a PACTS conference on the 14 th June 2016 Lilli Matson, Head of Strategy and Outcome Planning, stated in her presentation "Buses are four times more likely to be involved in a KSI collision with a pedestrian than would be expected for their share of traffic.” Given your support for increased transparency and accountability for private operators of our Public Transport Services, please set out your specific reasons for rejecting my two requests as set in Question 29016/2845 and Question 2016/2485 for TfL to tweet the operator and route number of any bus involved in a KSI collision on...
