Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 8 April 2019 asking for information about buses and enforcement.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that buses / bus drivers are not used to carry out any enforcement or parking / traffic activity.

We only enforce road traffic contraventions on the Transport for London Road Network using our CCTV camera network or on street patrols.

If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.
