Extra 500 buses in London before 2021

Transport (TfL) for London has recently announced that more than 500 extra buses will be brought into use on the capital’s road.

According to the Greater London Authority, the population is growing faster than any other European city, while it has been claimed that it is increasing by 37%, thus meaning to more than 11m by 2050.

TfL explains that such an investment will allow 2.9m extra customer journeys, taking into consideration that, currently, London's bus network carries 6.5m passengers every day

Finally, London's transport commissioner Sir Peter Hendy said: "The number of passengers on the bus network is at its highest since 1959 and this investment will help address the growing demand, improving customers' journeys, bus reliability and customer satisfaction."
