  • Bus Driver Fatigue: Commuting Mode of London Bus Drivers

    • Reference: 2022/4174
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    In your response to Question 2019/8818, you stated "As Transport for London does not directly employ bus drivers, it does not collect or hold data on how they travel to and from bus depots”. Given numerous statements coming from City Hall and Palestra House that (a) TfL’s Bus Safety Programme is “evidence-led” and (b) combatting ‘Bus Driver Fatigue’ is considered a priority, how can you justify TfL’s ignorance of knowing the amount of time a London bus driver has already driven before he or she starts working a 12-14 hour shift behind the wheel of a London bus?
