Rejected petition Force Transport for London to install Air Conditioning on all London buses
TFL should install air conditioning on all London running buses. Currently, temperatures inside the drivers' cab are reaching highs of 45+ degrees. This is not safe for the driver and can impose a serious health risk which can affect their ability to safely carry out their duties in this heat.
More details
Some buses currently have air conditioning, however, the majority of them are either not working or just not functioning as they should. Transport for London should work with local bus garages to set a deadline to make sure that all London buses have a functioning air conditioning system for when temperatures rise.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. It is the responsibility of Transport for London, the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here: https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/london-assembly/petitions
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to change the requirements for all buses in England, as these are regulated by the UK Government.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
