Business case for investment in the Garden Bridge.

The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

Please supply the business case supporting TfL's proposed 30 million investment in the proposed Garden Bridge. Please supply a BCR. Please also supply numbers of travellers estimated to be actually crossing the bridge as part of a journey (not just visiting it as an attraction), hourly, weekly, and monthly - and estimated crossing time at varying times, given estimated visitor numbers. Please report the effects of bridge closures, and of any ticketing system (or other system of control of numbers, such as turnstiles) that is proposed.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Francis

FOI, Transport for London
