The number of buses used on Transport for London contracted services was 9,068 on March 31, 2021, a drop of 34 compared to the previous year. Since peaking at 9,616 in 2016 the fleet has reduced in size every year. The true extent of the reduction is masked by the inclusion of around 200 vehicles retained to meet the requirement for additional vehicles for extra schools' transport introduced last autumn to address social distancing concerns. Many of these were subsequently withdrawn before the end of the school year in July and it has yet to be confirmed how many will return when schools re-open in September. |
