In a Freedom of Information request to Transport for London, website MyLondon reported in October 2022 that over the preceding 12 months, Route 969 and Route 603 (Muswell Hill - Swiss Cottage) were the 'least dangerous' bus routes in London. Both routes had zero 'community safety' calls involving the police and zero 'code red' incidents.[5]
