Does TfL have facial recognition?
Does TfL have facial recognition? No, TfL informs the public regarding the usage of CCTV cameras within the network. Additionally, the output won't target any individuals. This process is not facial recognition as we won't match the images against any customer databases. How will you prevent function creep?
Do TfL own the buses?
The London Underground is operated entirely by TfL, but buses, trams and the London Overground are franchised, so while TfL oversees fares, routes and timetables, competitive contracts are awarded to operators to run services, which includes hiring staff and buying or leasing vehicles.
Can I refuse facial recognition?
U.S. citizens and some other travelers are also entitled to decline to have their photos taken for facial recognition ID checks. You can ask for another way to verify your identification.
Why is TfL so good?
Since TfL was created in 2000, investment in the system has created a more reliable and safe system. For example, on London Underground reliability has improved significantly, with the excess journey time due to delays reduced by 40% since 2000.
