You asked
Dear TFL FOI team,
On August 1, 2023 I made a request relating to data relating to the e-scooter trials in London in FOI-1421-2324/GH. Since then I notice you have published a request of similar nature which includes almost the exact data I need ( FOI-1050-2324). However, the data published in this request concerns a different date I am interested in. I was wondering if you can publish the same data but extend the start date back to June 2021 when the e-scooter trial is started by TFL. The purpose of my research is stated in FOI-1421-2324 which is almost identical to that of the newly published request. To sum up my request, I was hoping to obtain:
1. Duration of each trip
2. Distance covered in each trip
3. Average speed during each trip
4. Origin latitude (rounded to 3 decimal places)
5. Origin longitude (rounded to 3 decimal places)
6. Destination latitude (rounded to 3 decimal places)
7. Destination longitude (rounded to 3 decimal places)
8. Month of the trip.
The format which I request the data will be identical to FOI-1050-2324 but with the start date pushed back to June 2021.
I hope this request is possible for the same public benefits stated in the two previous requests.
Thank you
