@_VN5 @mattsw_g @RichardWellings @LeeOdams @musty1970 @TfL I encourage anyone who's encountered 1) Bad Bus Driving or 2) Just Loves Buses, to look beyond own experience (& personal bias?) & ask: what choices are being made? In London, IMO it's obvious @TfL @MayorofLondon are willing to kill someone every 3 weeks so Bus=Convenient & Cheap
@_VN5 @mattsw_g @RichardWellings @LeeOdams @musty1970 @TfL "Even though a substantial majority of public Bus Operations in the UK are concentrated in a few private Bus companies...[Bus Drivers'] universal concerns are deemed to be 'local' special cases & no reflection of a systemic failure on a national scale." —Talk about "free passes"!
@_VN5 @mattsw_g @RichardWellings @LeeOdams @musty1970 @TfL 'According to TfL's published data, the number people killed in preventable Bus Safety Incidents in 2024 in London was more than double that of those killed in the November 2016 Sandilands Tram Crash. But TfL's Bus Franchise Bus Model lauded by Government as a model for UK LTAs"
@mattsw_g @RichardWellings @comadad The logic isn’t sound. It’s making excuses for death of vulnerable road users to make it an acceptable level. Making their deaths acceptable to you, not their families and friends. Bus drivers kill. It must stop. Lives have value. Each death costs millions to investigate too.
@_VN5 @mattsw_g @RichardWellings “cutting your metric to suit your narrative” 👍. Since oved 90% people killed “by a bus” that @TfL bothers to report are outside Bus, using “Passenger Miles” to measure Bus Lethality = classic Bus Industry “Trickery F*ckery” that @NeilGarratt Q points out london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…
@RichardWellings Bus drivers kill 10 times more per mile driven. Bus drivers are 1% of miles, 10% if deaths and KSI. How can you call this not a good use of money to address this? @comadad has the stats on this.
@_VN5 @RichardWellings Agree. Just tweeted a bunch of data that 👆 I suspect the "Libertarian Economist" might have no idea has been on the public domain for over a decade x.com/comadad/status…
Why’s @BBC merely rebroadcasting TfL PR? Does @TfL’s ‘new’ Bus Safety Standard include functioning A/C in the Bus Drivers’ cab? ICYMI @itvlondon has actually been INVESTIGATING Unsafe Driver Working Conditions that affect Bus Safety Performance itv.com/watch/news/bus…
@KeithPrinceAM @BBCLondonNews @MayorofLondon @TfL @LondonAssembly @SadiqKhan Q: Why is @BBCLondonNews just rebroadcasting @MayorofLondon @TfL PR than INVESTIGATING published #BusSafety data that—thanks to me & @LondonAssembly —is available on public record since @backborwick convinced @BorisJohnson to publish it in January 2014. london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…
@KeithPrinceAM @BBCLondonNews @MayorofLondon @TfL @LondonAssembly 3 @LondonAssembly Investigations since 2017 & you'd think w ✅ TfL Policy PR & ✅Bus Traffic Trends observed since 2016 there'd be a REDUCTION of 🚫Bus Collisions & 🚫People “killed in or by a bus” BUT @TfL data shows Bus System more UNSAFE today than when @SadiqKhan elected
