Mrs Mayfair

This is NOT party political. The London Assembly UNANIMOUSLY voted for a resolution to establish a “fully independent review of floating bus stops” in September 2024. Previously the Labour Chair of its Transport Committee had asked the mayor to pause their rollout.

Floating bus stops in London are a real risk for the safety of those alighting on buses. When pressed by @emmabest22 about what he planned to do about this, Sadiq Khan just couldn't answer 👇

Thank you. This is what happened last year. There were 5 collision injuries reported to the police last year in this location. 3 which we filmed and 2 from other people who reported them.

.@willnorman @SebDance @MayorofLondon are you going to explain this please?

.@simonlightwood Everyone deserves safe, accessible transport. 🤔

Can London raise the money for our own transport projects? How, how much, and what are the risks? A timely investigation by the London Assembly starting tomorrow at 10am

.@Heidi_Labour @LordPeterHendy @simonlightwood another floating bus stop that is not safe or accessible for blind people. It needs to be removed please. Pedestrians and bus users need their pavements and bus stops back please. @CamdenCouncil @NewJournal

Keep posting different designs of floating bus stops & still the same issues. This one is in Mile End in London. @simonlightwood @Heidi_Labour @LordPeterHendy how much longer do blind people have to wait to get their bus services back? Please pause any more floating bus stops.

Hey @MayorofLondon @Heidi_Labour @simonlightwood, you might want to read how you are excluding blind people from the bus network in London and across the UK with your un-evidenced policies around floating bus stops. Disabled people have the right to independent travel!

Admirable @SteveReedMP - but without an actual plan for what it entails, this feels a little like an empty gesture. #streatham deserves better public transport, but @tfl seem determined to give us bikes lanes. Please share the detailed plan for your campaign

If you think this should all stop and everyone should be able to access their bus directly to and from the kerb then write to your MP.

.@LabourMarina @Heidi_Labour be grateful if you could urgently ask about this junction please. I did ask @TfL representatives on a street meeting on 20th June in Streatham but no answers. This is critically important for pedestrians who want to cross the road in this location.

London is not accessible to all and blind have seen access to bus services go backwards over the past 10 years. Plus it is getting worse. How can it be Tesfai is going to loose access to his local bus services with this new scheme for Streatham Hill? @MayorofLondon @Heidi_Labour

All the charities representing blind people in the Uk and 290 other groups are calling for a halt to more stops like this. Claims about cycle safety don’t cut it - 80% of cycling injuries are at intersections. Very few are associated with bus stops.

Please watch this ….. Pedestrians are top of the hierarchy… The most vulnerable…. Weaving in and out of them is wrong. The blind and disabled are being put at risk. I’m sure my fellow cyclists will agree this should not be happening The speed and reckless cycling here is…

Here’s the Government’s response to blind MP, ⁦@MarshadeCordova⁩ seeking assurance that floating bus stops will be safe for all bus passengers. Not a difficult question, but ⁦@Heidi_Labour⁩ tells MPs she wants to deal with this vital issue “in the round”!

Thank you @MarshadeCordova for asking this question. It’s clear floating bus stops do not work. No amount of reports will change this. They all need to be urgently halted please. x.com/nfbuk/status/1…

Please write to your MP.

This is not just a "bus stop bypass", this is a morality bypass, planned by delinquents.
