About Transport For London

We keep the city moving. Transport is central to driving economic growth, jobs and housing. And the work we do at TfL has a direct impact on the lives of millions – every single day. Our remit includes everything from the Tube, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway, TfL Rail, London Trams, London River Services, Dial-a-Ride, Victoria Coach Station, Emirates Air Line, to the city’s cycle hire scheme and of course, our iconic red buses. But there’s a lot more to it than that.

We also regulate taxis and the private hire trade, run the Congestion Charging scheme, manage the city’s 580km red route road network and operate every one of the Capital’s 6,200 traffic signals. And we work to ensure a safe environment for pedestrians and cyclists. We’re pioneers in integrated ticketing and in providing information to help people move around London. Oyster is the world’s most popular smartcard, and contactless payment is making travel even more convenient. Real-time travel information is provided by us and through third parties, who use our data to power their apps and other services.
