Transport for London (TFL) is trialing a new 'ding ding' sound on London buses as a safety measure, reminiscent of the classic Routemaster buses. The dual bell sound will alert passengers that the bus is about to depart, encouraging them to hold on tight. This initiative arises from findings regarding injury patterns on buses, with TFL aiming to reduce incidents of slips, trips, and falls. Additionally, a proposal for upstairs seat counters will be tested in 2025 to manage passenger distribution and prevent overcrowding. These efforts are part of the Mayor's 'Bus Action Plan' aiming for a safer and more attractive public transport system by 2030.
The implementation of the iconic Routemaster bus 'dings' aims to enhance passenger safety by reminding them to hold on tight before buses depart.
TFL's safety research highlighted slips, trips, and falls as major injury causes and aims to mitigate these risks through innovative solutions.
