TfL Ref: FOI-1019-1920

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 5 July 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked:

Please send me your 2019 bus audit details and details of types of buses and all about them.

In accordance with the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply the information you have requested as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act. In this instance the exemption has been applied as the information you have requested is intended for future publication.

We will publish the bus fleet data as soon as soon as it is available, it will be posted at https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/bus-fleet-data-and-audits and we expect this to be next month. The information is currently being collated and validated to ensure accuracy. 

The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. TfL recognises the need for openness and transparency by public authorities and the particular public interest in disclosure of this information, However in this instance, it is considered that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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

Yours sincerely
