Given your ambitious "Vision Zero" goals, can you explain why the latest (July 2024) TfL Commissioner's Report to the TfL Board states, "We completed improvements at Victoria bus station in December 2023..." without mentioning the fact that a pedestrian was killed by a Route 14 bus operated by RATPDev for TfL in January 2024?

In your response to Mayoral Question 2024/2238, you mentioned that TfL, "developed an enhanced Engineering Quality Monitoring (EQM) process to actively monitor performance, which started this month".

In response to Mayoral Question 2024/2238, you stated, "Bus operators have a duty of care to their staff and customers, and they’re expected to review their working practices regularly to ensure they always maintain safe operations.” How often and by what means does TfL monitor and review these working practices to ensure bus operators maintain safe operations? Please note that I've been informed by bus drivers that TfL's Tripartite Toilet Working Group hasn't met for 18 months.

TfL's newly appointed Director of Buses was hired from Transport UK (formerly Abellio) where she played a key executive role managing that company's bus contracts with TfL. Her immediate predecessor at TfL was just appointed to the Board of Directors of TfL's largest Contractor, Go Ahead. TfL's longest-serving former MD of Surface Transport has been a director of bus contractor RATPDev for years. Given the failing safety performance of TfL's contracted bus operation, do you think it is in the public interest to allow a revolving door to exist between TfL and its contracted bus operators?
