Dear Transport for London,
I would like to request a copy of Ticketing & Revenue Update #148
We answered
Our ref: FOI-3032-2324
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 23 November 2023 asking for information on ticketing and revenue.
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 hold the information you require. Please find attached a copy of this staff magazine, as requested.
In accordance with TfL’s obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), some personal data has been removed from this publication, as required by section 40 of the FOI. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of the GDPR, which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.
This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption
Additionally, in accordance with the FOI Act, some further information has been redacted as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under sections 31, for the prevention of crime.
Whilst we make no suggestion that you would use the information for anything other than your own personal interest, any disclosures made under the provisions of the FOI Act are deemed to be a ‘disclosure to the world at large’. The release of this information raises security issues and could be used by those wishing to commit criminal acts.
This exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities, but in this instance we consider that the public interest is in favour of applying the exemption, in order to avoid any compromise to the security of the general public when using our network.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely,
Tahsin Prima FOI Case Officer General Counsel Transport for London
