I am making an enquiry into how much revenue have TFL spent on advertising on public transport since the start of the Covid Pandemic.

I would like to ask revenue spent on Public Transport and Radio Stations on publicising  Public Transport.

Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 TfL has spent £127,983 advertising our core public transport messages at bus shelters and £1.8m on radio advertising for this same scope of work. Throughout the pandemic, we have been using our advertising to communicate essential service and safety information to help Londoners travel safely at this critical time. This includes conveying vital messaging such as the importance of wearing a face covering, travelling at the quiet times, washing hands and maintaining social distancing.

If you are considering submitting a further request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI/EIR requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.

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.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
