You asked
Dear sir,
I am an university student in Hong Kong and conducting a research on bus safety. In this connection, I would like to have the following statistics:
- number of travel accidents involving public bus by year in Singapore in the last five years
- the related operated bus kilometres
With the above figures, I can derive the accident rates and compare them with that of Hong Kong to assess the safety level of Hong Kong.
If the statistics are not under the purview of your department, I should be grateful if you can let me have the email address of the responsible department.
Thanks for your assistance. Look forward for your early reply.
We answered
TfL Ref: 3917-1920
Thank you for your email received by us on 20 March 2020 asking for information about the number of travel accidents involving public bus by year in Singapore in the last five years.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested as TfL is the transport authority for London, UK, not in Singapore, so I believe you may have directed your request to the wrong authority. You may want to contact the Land Transport Authority for Singapore: https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en.html.
Please note the Government has announced a series of measures to tackle the Coronavirus. It is essential for London, and in particular for all critical workers, that we continue to provide a safe transport network that enables them to make the journeys they need to.
In current circumstances, we are not able to answer FOI requests readily and we ask that you please do not make a request to us at present.
Answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. In any event, please note that our response time will be affected by the current situation.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
Sara Thomas
