Where can I report an excessively dirty bus?

[CoolHands]

I remember a few times I've come across TFL checking vehicles with a van that has MOT equipment in it, and they can force you to take your vehicle off the road there & then, or fine you (I think) if the emissions are over the top, even if you have a current mot. Well this bus (was) taking the piss - you know how smoke doesn't really photograph well so in real life it was smegging atrocious.

Is there any way (where?) of reporting such outrageous vehicles? Or are they exempt from the rules that other vehicles in London have to obey? Since I expect someone will ask - I would like an official body to force them to either rectify the bus, or get it removed from the road.

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.

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

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:
