We are guided by the Mayors Transport Strategy[1] and its target that 80% of all journeys will be made on foot, by cycle or using public transport by 2041.
We use technology and data to make journeys easier. Oyster and contactless payment cards and information in different formats help people move around London.
Live travel information is provided directly by us and through third party organisations which use the data we make available to power apps and other services.
London BusesWe manage a bus fleet of around 9,300 vehicles operating across 675 routes.
Most bus services[2] in London are run by private operators awarded a contract by us. Bus operators compete for contracts[3] to provide specific services - contracts are managed by our subsidiary company London Bus Services Ltd.
