Transport for London (TfL) publish information of recorded crimes on the TfL network in annual bulletins on a financial year basis. This information can be found on their website: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/crime-and-incident-bulletins
The number of incidents of the various crimes are in the attached table. TfL do not separate incidents that occur on London Underground and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) so these are combined.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which organisation holds the franchise for each London bus route.
Answered by Robert Goodwill
Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London. London’s bus network is regulated by Transport for London (TfL) which plans, procures and manages the network of services in a consistent and coordinated manner. Bus operating companies compete for contracts to provide specified levels of service for up to seven years, with companies penalised or rewarded depending if they meet, exceed or fall short of quality targets. TfL pays the bus operating companies to run the routes they are awarded, with all fares collected being retained by TfL. There are currently 22 companies which run one or more routes in London. A list of these companies is below;
1. Abellio London Limited
2. Abellio West London Limited
3. Arriva (Kent Thameside) Limited
