Transport for London (TfL) is the public body responsible for most of London’s transport system. Created in 2000 as part of the Greater London Authority, it works to keep the capital moving and delivers the Mayor’s transport priorities.3410 Its headquarters are at 5 Endeavour Square in London.23
TfL’s remit spans the Underground, buses, Docklands Light Railway, trams, roads, taxis and private hire, as well as cycling and other travel services. It runs London’s bus network, which has around 9,000 vehicles across 675 routes, and manages the Tube’s operations, safety, fares and much of its infrastructure.5 On roads, it manages London’s red-route network and operates the capital’s traffic lights, while sharing wider road responsibilities with boroughs and national authorities.5
The organisation also plans and funds improvements to rail and tram services, and provides journey planning, maps, ticketing and live travel updates through its website.510 Its major recent projects include the Elizabeth line, which TfL identifies as part of its investment programme, alongside modernisation of services and stations.28 TfL’s Commissioner is Andy Lord, who is responsible for delivering safe and reliable services and the objectives set out in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and TfL’s business plan.9
