Page 114 has a map showing proposed speed limits, great big chunks of 20mph zones including some major roads like A10, parts of South Circular, A1, A4, A24 . . . .

Buses going to get even slower and travelling any distance by road across London will be a painfully time consuming process.

Tell them to f**k off will ya!

Don't get this whole safety thing, the ones who it is meant for will just ignore it anyways whilst we have to suffer

I wonder what’s caused such a huge decline in the last four weeks. Interesting the tube is slipping away as well!

And oh my goodness please don’t say that last line is what it reads like😢

I wonder if this fall is linked to the Extinction Rebellion protests when perhaps some decided not to make discretionary journeys. Let's see if the numbers recover and then we'll know.

Judging by the exit polls doesn't look like tfl and buses in particular will be getting anymore money from central government.

Who knows. Maybe if the next mayoral election does vote in a conservative mayor (possibly unlikely) the government will start to subsidise Tfl again.

No matter what government got in, they wouldn’t of got anymore money regardless of their policy - Labour think every household has a money tree in the back garden.

The new business plan is out

content.tfl.gov.uk/finance-committee-item07-business-plan-2019.pdf

Not gone through it in a large amount of detail but some stuff that might be interesting to those on here.

Page 83 - Regarding Safe buses

Our Bus Safety Programme will continue to drive major safety improvements, helping us reach our target of no-one being killed on or by a bus by 2030. Our Bus Safety Standard is now applied to all new
bus contracts, meaning buses on these routes will have the latest safety technology, including Intelligent Speed Assistance and redesigned vehicles. We are also developing an audio alert system for quiet buses and are running a Bus Safety Innovation Challenge, which awards funding to operators to trial new technology and techniques.

Page 86 - Regarding Zero Emission buses

London continues to have one of the largest and greenest bus fleets in the world. Of the Capital’s
9,000 buses, more than 85 per cent meet or exceed
the ultra-clean Euro VI standard, including more than 2,800 that enter the central London ULEZ each day. We completed 12 Low Emission Bus Zones outside central London in 2019, one year earlier than planned, and will finish upgrading the fleet by autumn 2020 to make all London’s bus routes at least ultra-low Euro VI.
We will continue working to make all our buses zero-emission at tailpipe by 2037 at the latest. London currently has more than 200 electric buses – Europe’s largest electric fleet – and over this plan, this will grow to more than 2,000. Routes 43 and 134 became the UK’s first routes to be awarded with double-
deck electric buses, which are progressively entering service, and we have awarded contracts to operators for a further 200 electric buses, expected to enter service at the end of 2020.

Page 90 - Bus Priority 

Buses carry more people each day than any other public transport mode in London. Therefore, an efficient and effective bus network is essential for sustainable growth. Our Bus Priority Programme targets investment to improve bus journey times and reliability, which are essential factors for retaining ridership and revenue while also minimising operating costs. We are looking
to save more than 400 hours of bus travel time through a mix of traffic signal changes and new infrastructure, such as bus lanes, which will benefit thousands of passengers.

Page 100 - Modernising the Bus Network

Having modernised the central London bus network, we
are investing in outer London bus services to accommodate growth and changing demand. We introduced six new routes in 2019, increased frequency on 24 routes and extended another two, as we work towards a five million kilometre increase in outer London services over the next five years.
Encouraging more people in outer London to travel by bus instead of by car will be vital in achieving the Mayor’s target of 80 per cent of all journeys being made by sustainable modes by 2041. Currently, nearly half of all journeys in outer London are by private transport, compared to less than a quarter of trips in inner and central London.

On page 157, it seems that a toilet facility has been installed at Windmill Lane for the 483 extension so I assume this extension is going ahead

TfL Bus stategy - Next steps (starts page 133)

Page 144) conversion of all LT routes to front door boarding by early summer

Page 148) Central London bus will fall from 148m Km (2018-19) to 138m Km (2024-25)
Outer London 323m Km (2018-19 will increase to 328m Km (2024-25)
So a net reduction of 5million Km (but outer London buses go faster so more in percentage terms)

Page 154) Map splitting routes into Core, Connector and Local

Page 156) confirmation that zero emission for new single decks is from October 2020


EDIT : just looked at map on page 154, discovered the K5 appears to be discontinued in North Kingston, and a new Core route runs from Kew Bridge to Kew Retail park (currently unserved by bus), The Kew Retail Park-Chalkers corner section is also core (currently served by single deck R68 only)
I'm sure others will know their local areas and find other oddities

Not sure about that map, when blown up it appears to show a regular bus service across Twickenham Bridge. I would be suprised if TfL wanted to add that.
