You asked
Hi
I would like to know how much TFL has been saving from frequency reductions since January 2021.
Clarification received 11/01/2023: I'm particularly looking for bus reductions, but if figures from other modes of transport can be looked into within the limit, that would be great.
We answered
TfL Ref: FOI-2537-2223
Thank you for your request of 7th January 2023 (as clarified on 11th January 2023) asking for information about service frequency reductions.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked: “I would like to know how much TFL has been saving from frequency reductions since January 2021.” And;
“I'm particularly looking for bus reductions, but if figures from other modes of transport can be looked into within the limit, that would be great.”
This request is virtually identical - but broader in scope - to your previous request answered under case reference FOI-1873-2223, a copy of which can be seen here:
