§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many(a) double decker and (b) single decker public service buses are estimated to be on London's roads at the latest available date; how many passengers they carried; what were the comparable figures five years ago; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NorrisIn 1992–93 there were 3,649 double decker and 1,395 single decker—including 1,232 midi and mini type—London Transport buses, excluding tendered service buses run by companies other than London Buses Ltd. In 1987–88, the comparable figures were 4,389 double decker and 624 single decker—including 170 midi and mini type.
For total passenger figures, I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 29 November 1993 at column 340. Passenger figures by vehicle type are not available.
