Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 21 November 2023 asking for information about operating costs for buses.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.

I can confirm that we do not hold the information you require as it is a contracted service operated on behalf of TfL by a third party private bus operator. You may wish directly to reach out to the bus operators for the requested information - https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/buses/who-runs-your-bus
