100 Bus Frequency

“TfL: don’t make us wait longer for our 100 bus-Transport for London should stick to its word!
Earlier this year (when TfL cut the length of the 100 bus route) it promised that there would be “no changes to the frequency” of the route. But TfL have just published plans to slash the frequency of the 100 from 4 November, meaning Wapping residents will have to wait up to 50% longer for their bus. TfL is planning to decrease the frequency of the 100 from every 8 minutes to every 12 minutes. The route is one of only two bus routes in Wapping, cutting it just isn’t right. The change shouldn’t have been introduced without discussing it with local residents first. The 100 bus link is also a vital connection for disabled people with limited mobility and parents with pushchairs who don’t have access to Wapping Station because of its lack of ticket hall to platform accessibility. In addition, many will experience disproportionate disadvantage waiting for longer for a bus in the cold and wet of winter, so this move could leave people isolated in their own homes. Your local councillor Denise Jones, Mayor John Biggs and London Assembly Member Unmesh Desai have launched a campaign calling on TfL to reverse their decision to cut the frequency of the 100 bus service in Wapping. We need to demonstrate local opposition to TfL’s decision. We, the undersigned, call on TfL to scrap their decision to cut the frequency of the 100 bus route serving Wapping.”
