Today TfL launched a consultation on proposed changes to central London bus services to deliver an efficient, modern, simple network with buses in the right places at the right times.
TfL say some routes can be inefficient, unreliable, or overly complex, particularly where not matching the number of bus services to the level of customer demand. For example Kingsway and Park Lane, is current served by more than 100 buses an hour, many of which are significantly underused. This oversupply impacts on bus reliability, journey times, congestion and air quality.
Through the consultation trhey are proposing changes to 33 routes across central London, which will:
·Restructure routes
·Shorten routes
·Change route frequencies
·Withdraw three routes
·Create one new route
These changes aim to modernise bus services by matching capacity with demand. This will help enable the delivery of year-on-year increases of outer London bus services. The public consultation is open until 9 November. Please visit https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/central-london/?cid=central-london-bus-consultation to provide your response.
