F/O from 4115-2324 average bus occupancy levels - busiest section of each bus route in each direction by location, time and direction Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to request the equivalent information for the mid May to mid June period in 2023, as individual routes may be affected by higher levels of seasonal demand, particularly at weekends.

Thank you for your follow on request to TfL ref 4115-2324, received by Transport for London (TfL) on 12 May 2024 asking for information about average bus occupancy levels for the mid May to mid June period in 2023 - busiest section of each bus route in each direction by location, time and direction.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested. To explain further,  we only hold bus occupancy data for a representative four week period from mid-November to mid-December of each year - we don’t hold the same data for the requested period mid-May to mid-June 2023.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
