🇨🇦🚍 BC #Transit has ordered 41 new Enviro500 double-decker buses from Alexander Dennis as part of a fleet renewal programme in British Columbia, #Canada. The buses, added to the manufacturer’s backlog in the first quarter of 2026, will replace older vehicles reaching the end of their service life and support the continued use of double-deckers across the network. Each bus seats up to 80 passengers while maintaining a compact road footprint. BC Transit, which serves more than 130 communities and carries over 54 million passengers a year, was the first public #transport operator in North America to introduce double-decker buses in 2000. Around 50 Alexander Dennis double-deckers already operate in Victoria, with more due to enter service this year. Both organisations said the order reflects their long-standing partnership and focus on improving passenger capacity and comfort. https://www.alexander-dennis.com/bc-transit-partners-with-alexander-dennis-for-fleet-upgrade-with-order-of-41-new-enviro500-double-deckers/

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: The request relates to Wrightbus SRM vehicles and potential royalty payments linked to the New Routemaster design under clause 42 of a contract. #TfL confirmed it holds information indicating Wrightbus was expected to propose royalty payments for the use of London Bus Services Ltd intellectual property in two-door vehicles incorporating New Routemaster design features. However, TfL stated the vehicles were sold to a London operator for use on the TfL network and clause 42 was not applied. It added that it is not aware of any other buyers of the model and confirmed that no royalties were collected for either the SRM vehicles or the original New Routemaster design. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0135-2627

💷 The #UK Department for Transport’s Greener Bus Tool is an Excel-based appraisal toolkit that helps local #transport authorities assess the value for money of investing in zero-emission #buses and minibuses, including battery electric and hydrogen vehicles. It calculates key measures such as the benefit-cost ratio (BCR), net present value and carbon reduction impacts, using guidance from the HM #Treasury Green Book and DfT transport analysis guidance. The tool compares proposed schemes against a “do minimum” scenario, usually replacing buses with Euro 6 diesel models, to estimate additional costs and benefits. It assesses impacts on operators, government finances, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and wider society. Users input data including vehicle and infrastructure costs, annual mileage and funding sources. The tool also supports sensitivity testing and risk analysis to help improve scheme design and assess uncertainty. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/greener-bus-tool

🚡 #Transport for #London will host a free event on 6 May, from 10:00 to 15:00, at the London Cable Car Experience by the Greenwich Peninsula terminal to mark Maternal Mental Health Week. Open to all, it will offer talks and support from specialist charities including the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership, MumsAid, OCEAN ELFT, Footprints Baby Loss and Sister Circle.

Attendees who register can take a free cable car ride and collect Baby on Board or Babies on Board badges. A specially wrapped cabin will highlight partner organisations. Maternal Mental Health Week, running from 4–10 May, marks its tenth year, with around one in five mothers affected by mental health challenges. https://tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/london-cable-car-marks-maternal-mental-health-week-with-free-event-and-specially-wrapped-cabin

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL said it does not hold any report or study on the feasibility of converting the New Routemaster bus fleet to zero-emission electric operation. Responding to a request published on 1 May 2026, TfL confirmed it has not carried out work assessing such a conversion and therefore cannot provide a report. The authority said the nearest related work is the previously disclosed Equipmake repowering trial, which had already been shared with the requester. TfL added that the request was considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and its information access policy. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0144-2627

Au 1er trimestre, le bénéfice net de TotalEnergies est de 5,8 milliards de dollars, en hausse de 51 % sur un an, annonce le groupe. Rien ne vaut une bonne guerre, décidément. Cerise sur le baril, le groupe de Patrick Pouyanné ne paie ni impôt sur les sociétés en France ni la contribution exceptionnelle sur les bénéfices des grandes entreprises. L'annonce de ces résultats va-t-elle relancer le débat? #Politique #Carburant #Essence #Total #Energie #Transport #Economie #Jackpot

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL said it holds data on bus lanes removed or shortened since 2021, but only in terms of total lengths retired rather than a count of individual lanes. A released dataset lists locations across numerous London boroughs, including Westminster, Camden, Southwark and Newham, detailing where lanes have been decommissioned. TfL said rising demand for road space and policies under the Mayor’s Transport Strategy have led to some lanes being suspended temporarily, shortened, or removed to support wider “Safe and Healthy Streets” measures. In some cases, alternative measures such as traffic signal technology are used to prioritise buses. TfL confirmed it does not hold information on specific closure dates or reasons for individual schemes. The dataset also includes operational hours, permitted vehicles and lane characteristics prior to removal. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4338-2526

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL has responded to a Freedom of Information request about upcoming Customer Service Assistant (CSA) recruitment. The request, submitted on 11 April 2026, asked when CSA and CSA Night Tube roles would open and when applications would begin. TfL stated that the next London Underground CSA recruitment round is expected to be advertised by November 2026. This is likely to focus on CSA2 full-time roles, although this may change depending on operational needs, with CSA1 full-time roles a possible alternative. Recruitment for CSA1 Night Tube roles is not expected to take place this year and may not be required for some time, based on current workforce forecasts. Job vacancies will be published on TfL’s website.

🇮🇪🚍 The National Transport Authority has announced that Route 310 in #Limerick will be operated by Bus Éireann under a new contract from Monday, 20 April 2026. The route, previously run by Dublin Coach, will remain part of the #Transport for #Ireland network, with services continuing seven days a week and running every 30 minutes, including early morning and evening departures. Passengers can continue to use Leap Cards and free travel passes, while cash payments will also be accepted on board from the start date. Standard adult fares will be €1.90 in cash or €1.35 with a Leap Card. The route will be adjusted to serve the new Bloodmill Road extension, improving links to residential and employment areas. Services will also be operated by a fleet of fully electric buses, aimed at enhancing passenger comfort and reducing emissions. Officials said the changes will support growing demand and improve overall service quality. https://www.nationaltransport.ie/news/nta-announces-bus-eireann-as-new-operator-for-route-310-in-limerick/

🇮🇪💳🚌 Passengers using TFI Local Link bus services in Kerry, #Ireland can now pay fares with contactless debit or credit cards, as well as mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. The National #Transport Authority said the move simplifies payments and offers greater convenience for rural and regional travellers. The rollout follows a successful pilot in Cavan and Monaghan and expansion to several other areas, reflecting strong passenger demand. Contactless is currently available for single journeys, while daily and weekly fares remain available via Leap cards and online services. Cash and Free Travel Cards are still accepted. The NTA said the upgrade is part of wider efforts to modernise public transport and improve accessibility, with local managers welcoming the added flexibility and improved passenger experience. https://www.transportforireland.ie/news/passengers-on-tfi-local-link-kerry-services-can-now-use-contactless-card-payments/
