Buses


We would like your views on TfL’s proposal to modernise the bus network in central London. Our consultation is the first step in delivering London’s first major modernisation of the bus network in more than 16 years.

The proposals would reshape the bus network to respond to current and predicted passenger demand mainly through frequency changes or restructured routes.

For full details and to share your views, please visit our consultation page
