Near Miss Bus Data

The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

In his response to Question 2017/4242 "Learning from Near Miss Bus Safety Incidents" the Mayor of London states: "Yes, bus drivers are encouraged to report all incidents on the bus network regardless of whether they were near misses, minor or more serious collisions. These events are collated with other incidents and categorised to help inform Transport for London's bus safety work."

Kindly provide me with TfL's collated Near Miss Data for the period 1 January - 30 November 2017. If possible, for each incident, please identify the date, Bus Operator, Bus Route, Borough, Bus Garage and mode of transport involved.

Yours faithfully,

Matthew Savage
