At 8.5mph buses in NY are now only slightly slower than in London where speeds are in decline. Bus priority measures are sadly not keeping up with, let alone beating, congestion. TfL Network Performance all buses: Q1 2024/2025 = 9.27mph Q1 2025/2026 = 9.16mph Q1 2026/2027 = 9.06mph

I see a lot of people complaining about the undoubtedly stressful conditions at present on London's roads. But I see few people complaining about motor vehicles. Yet in the last 24 hours three vulnerable road users have died after being hit by people driving motor vehicles.

A new chapter for London’s buses. I’m launching Buses for London with TfL- the capital’s publicly owned bus company. Starting with Route 6 in 2027, we’ll reinvest profits into better services, safer journeys and a greener network.

A reminder that transport is the largest producer of UK greenhouse gas emissions, and that fuel duty is currently the main leverage government has to get people to switch to EVs. Reducing fuel duty is not good policy.

So the LibDems are talking about a big cut in fuel duty. This would mark a big growth in subsidies to motorists which would benefit the wealthy the most. They drive the most and drive the least fuel efficient cars.

Love the dock to cover the cargo box. I have tried closed box shared cargo bikes, which preclude carrying many larger loads (including people/dogs) and open ones which can attract rubbish/debris. I hope someone adapts this design for a London scheme soon.
