Increase in walking drives changes to London bus network

Transport for London has announced the results of their survey about alterations to bus services in Central London. The proposed changes are a response to shifting patterns of travel, including people switching to walking.

Steve Chambers, Policy and Research Coordinator, Living Streets, said: 

“We welcome changes to the bus network in central London to provide a more reliable service and reduce air pollution.

"Planning for fewer buses on Oxford Street reflects changes in demand and is an important first step towards creating a world-class public space for Londoners and visitors to walk and enjoy”

The changes will be implemented from summer 2017.
