"TfL states, 'it is completely unacceptable that anyone should be killed or seriously injured while travelling, and we remain committed to eradicating death and serious injury from the transport network.'"
"The data includes all incidents where damage has been reported, such as paint scuffs, mirrors, and lights, but does not imply which road user's behaviour or error may have led to the incident."
"'Our comprehensive and world-leading bus safety programme continuously drives major safety improvements across our network,' according to TfL."
"'We fund specific interventions to reduce collisions and improve existing safety processes and data collection,' TfL added."
London buses have experienced a rise in incidents, with 14,986 reported in 2023 compared to 12,857 in 2019. The figures for 2020 and 2021 were lower due to the Covid pandemic. Transport for London (TfL) emphasizes the unacceptability of serious injuries or fatalities on the transport network. The reported incidents include minor damages and do not indicate the cause. TfL is committed to improving bus safety through various programs and interventions aimed at reducing collisions and enhancing safety processes.
