Question number	0985/2008
Meeting date	18/06/2008

Question by Roger Evans

Can I also urge you to include modifications to improve safety in driving standards as well because this Assembly in its last term identified driving standards as being a major problem on the bus fleet.

Answer by Boris Johnson (1st Term)

I will certainly look at the issue of driving standards. One question that has been brought to my attention is the sudden jolt when the bus moves away.

This is something I have been talking to TfL about. It is very difficult in these very high-powered machines and the acceleration is very fierce. It is something that we are talking to them about.
