Freedom of Information request - Bus ticket vending machines
Request ID: FOI-2259-2223 Date published: 04 January 2023
You asked
Dear Transport for London,
I noticed quite a while ago that you have a bus TVM at Victoria Bus Station outside the front of Victoria Railway Station where all the TFL buses stop. It is right at the front of Stop B by the zebra crossing. This machine sells you One Day Bus & Tram Passes as well as One Day Travelcard tickets too. It has probably been there for a few years now. Under the act i would like to request a full list of all bus TVMs on your network. I reckon there is likely to be more of these at other bus stations too so it would be interesting to know exactly where else they are installed. Also can you tell me when exactly the one at Victoria was installed. Finally what is the make and model of this machine please. I think it is the same type that is at some Elizabeth Line and London Overground stations. Thank you for your help.
