Public Transport: Safety Measures
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of pedal monitoring cameras on all new (a) buses, (b) trams, (c) coaches and (d) other forms of public transport.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government currently has no plans to make an assessment of the potential merits of pedal monitoring cameras on all new public transport. Some bus service providers have introduced pedal monitoring as part of their ongoing safety strategy and to aid incident investigations.
Pedal errors on other forms of public transport have not been highlighted as a significant issue.
