Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 13 May 2024 asking for information about the U10 bus route.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. 

I can confirm that we do hold the information you require. You asked:

1. Has the total number of passengers carried on this route reduced and by what percentage? Or has passenger numbers carried increased and by what percentage?

2. What is the average number of passengers carried per journey? How does this compare with the previous year.

Please see the updated tables below for a comparison between 2022 and 2023 on the U10 bus route.

1. The number of boarders on the U10 on an average weekday and Saturday:

2. The average number of boarders per U10 trip on an average weekday and Saturday:

Please note, the data for the daily totals originate from the BUSTO 2022/23 P09 and 2023/24 P09 dataset for 2022 and 2023 respectively – this contains a snapshot of bus demand during Period 9 each year. The included figures represent an average weekday and Saturday in Autumn 2022 and 2023 (dates with industrial action are excluded from the average). This period has chosen as it is typically the busiest time of the year for bus demand.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely,
