TfL says floating bus stops pose very low risk after safety review

TfL’s safety review released on 13 November 2026 found five pedestrian fatalities involving cyclists and one involving an e‑scooter at floating bus stops, which make up 1.5 % of the city’s 19,000 stops. Boardings by older and disabled passengers fell by up to three per cent where bypasses were built, a change TfL says is not statistically significant.
