Under the foi act please send these statistics.
TfL does not hold detailed information of routine work carried out during servicing and repair of buses, nor the usage rate of tyres. Therefore, we are unable to compile the statistics requested. In these circumstances, as the bus operating companies are responsible for the repairs and servicing of their vehicles, you may wish to approach them directly by referring to the following link for their contact details:
Please note that as private companies, these operators are not legally obliged to respond to Freedom of Information requests. In the meantime, as mentioned in my acknowledgement, the remainder of your correspondence will be addressed directly by our Customer Services Team.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
