Cost of providing iBus announcement CDs
Dear Transport for London,
Please could you inform me of the cost of providing iBus Announcement CDs through the means of the Freedom of Information Act.
I would like to know as much of the following as possible:
- The cost of providing a single set of iBus announcements on CD, preferably with a breakdown of:
- the cost of CD media
- the cost of staff time writing CDs, or the amount of staff hours spent doing so
- any additional fees payable to the voice artists or production companies involved as a result of sending out a set of CDs
- the cost of administering the request
- the cost of postage and packaging to the UK
- How many requests for iBus announcement CD sets TfL has fulfilled preferably since the FoI scheme began or alternatively in 2018.
Yours faithfully,
Kirk Northrop
