Signs are already in place at 2,700 shelters but Boris Johnson has now instructed Transport for London to fit them at the remaining 9,800 by the end of April.
Caroline Pidgeon, the Liberal Democrat leader at City Hall, said: “Whatever one thinks about smoking no one, and especially children, should be forced to inhale cigarette smoke simply because they are waiting for a bus.
“This long overdue decision to make all of London’s bus shelters no smoking is good news for the lungs of London’s children.”
Stephen Aselford says
While I welcome the decision, How will this be enforced across London
Mariatu Kamara says
Is a great development for we Londoners that are using the bus shelters, because if somebody is smoking
at the bus shelter and you are non smoker you don’t want to inhale the smoke you have to
move out of the shelter and wait outside even if it’s raining. so it’s really good for our health.
