Hang on:

11 April 2014 Figures published today show a comparison between the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured by Heavy Goods Vehicles, compared to major injuries and deaths caused by buses. Lorries cause far more fatalities, but the figures suggest that some years, buses are causing more major injuries to cyclists per km.

I think the figure does not account the number of buses we have in London vs. the number of HGV, someone said that HGV account for 5% of traffic in London, yet involved in 50% of cycling fatalities*.

*figures are rounded to the nearest 10 as I've yet to find the source.
