A minion of Ken says:
"Many London bus routes, including conventional double-decker,
travel through much quieter, more residential areas, and so
comparing
accident statistics for articulated or 'bendy' buses with
figures for the London bus network as a whole is not contrasting
like with like."

Which seems a fair point.
It is, but TFL have the statistics per route, so why didn't they
rebuff on a like for like basis instead of using that generalised
cop-out statement?
Because they know that the before-and-after-bendification route
stats will shoot them in the foot?
If so it would be worse than it looks. Haven't bus frequencies been
reduced in the conversion from double-deckers to bendies?
