Where can I report an excessively dirty bus?

Yeah cos it's much better we breath in all the st, right?

I think I worried about being a 'snitch' when I was aged, well, never.

It's much more important that we don't turn into a society who are reporting one another to authority about pathetic crap than it is we stamp out all types of particulate pollution as soon as possible. Social shame and shunning from the risk averse 9-5 hyper-bland centrist majority will sort that out without any government help.

Ask the French about the Collaborateurs or the East Germans about the Stasi-Kinder - we could easily become a totalitarian country in 20 years.. any country could... if that did happen then the only we escape is if the general populace has an innate cynicism about authority.

That's not the same thing as disagreeing with the rule of law (for example). Life's all shades of grey dude.

Well I still (rather infrequently) report dirty buses, I just reported this one and by coincidence found that I reported the same bus back in approx May 2021! On the same fking route. So it’s had 2 years and countless miles rolling around spewing out st

Christ, really?

Given how eager dear leader Khan is to penalise any of his subjects whos vehicles dare emit even a nanogramme more NOx or PMx per km than he deems acceptable, it seems entirely fair and reasonable to bring non-compliant buses to the attention of TfL so they can do something about it and not end up looking like a bunch of massive hypocrites who don't really give a crap about air pollution except for its revenue generating possibilities...

Same place as on many, little square window just below 1/2 way up in the middle.

Yes hard to see in pic LX59CNU

Just shocked that it is bad enough to make me decide to take a pic with the intention of reporting it (ie really spewing out black st), to find out it’s been doing for 2 years since I last reported it.

Not sure why some up there ^ would have a go at me reporting them, but take all sorts:

8 years dedicated to spotting, trailing and reporting busses for being dirty is a somewhat unusual pastime. Your pictures don't seem to actually show much in the way of filth, either.

Just avoid trains....

We should be able to do this for cars now too, get a marker put on them for the cops to pull over.

Disappointed this wasn’t a detailing thread.
