@therealdojj @BusSafetyRep @ShelaghFogarty @SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon Since 2017, @CarolinePidgeon & @KeithPrinceAM have been asking Mayor to open TfL's Regular, Secret, Un-minuted "Bus Operator Forum" Meetings to Public Scrutiny & have been refused every time. Here's Caroline asking & rejected by @SadiqKhan October 2017 london.gov.uk/questions/2017… 
@therealdojj @BusSafetyRep @ShelaghFogarty @SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM Here's Caroline asking & being rejected again in March 2018. Why? B/c "TfL & [Bus] Operators also need a forum in which they can collectively discuss commercially or operationally sensitive topics" OK. Why's Safety being discussed in SECRET? london.gov.uk/questions/2018…
@therealdojj @BusSafetyRep @ShelaghFogarty @SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM Here's Keith asking & refused in Nov18 "How does this refusal to be transparent conform with the principles of Vision Zero or your pledge that you are 'determined to lead the most transparent, engaged and accessible administration London has ever seen'?" london.gov.uk/questions/2018…
@therealdojj @BusSafetyRep @ShelaghFogarty @SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM Jan19 Keith REFUSED by Mayor again w this Q: "Will you consider allowing a member of @TfL’s Safety Panel & a member of @LondonAssembly Transport Committee to attend portions of TfL’s Bus Operator Forum Meetings where safety is the topic of discussion?" london.gov.uk/questions/2019…
@therealdojj @BusSafetyRep @ShelaghFogarty @SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM @LondonAssembly June19 Caroline REFUSED by Mayor: “Will you open up Bus Operator Forum to public scrutiny by (a) publishing terms of reference & minutes AND (b) allowing participation from independent observers from London Assembly Transport Committee & TfL Safety Panel” london.gov.uk/questions/2019…
@therealdojj @BusSafetyRep @ShelaghFogarty @SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM @LondonAssembly It's obvious to me that—FOR YEARS—THE STATE ie our elected Mayor in City Hall & his appointed officials in Palestra House have been preventing proper scrutiny of London's Private For-Profit Surface Transport Operators. The result? 1 #BusSafety 2 #CroydonCrash 3 #Covid19 DEATHS
