The Information Commissioner has criticised TfL for 'collecting data without clear purpose' for the Young Peoples Photocard, and there may be many parents who decide not to supply their child's personal data by applying for a card. Will you reintroduce child rate bus fares, saver tickets and season tickets for 11-16 year olds who do not have a Zip card whether for this reason or perhaps because they do not use London buses regularly eg visitors?

Many Londoners use veterinary services including Animal Ambulances which have to park close to clinics to comply with health and safety and to ensure that sick animals are not further stressed.

As a result Animal Ambulances are receiving tickets for parking outside clinics on Red Routes. Will you look into this and consider reviewing the definition of Ambulance to include those carrying animals?
