Transport for London (TFL) has a bus fleet of over 8,000 buses. In London, buses are, heavily relied upon as one of the main service providers in the public transport network.
Constant improvements ensure that the bus service gets better over time and continues to meet the needs of its customers. Bus lanes, have been introduced, allowing buses to avoid the commuter traffic, which is so prominent in London. Buses are being, added to the ever-growing fleet of London buses.
Theses buses are now having the latest technology installed. This powerful new telecommunications system, will instantly, relay travel data around the whole TFL network, resulting in an even more efficient bus service for London and visitors to London. This transformation is in progress and the first garage installation should be complete by 2007. TFL has 90 bus garages in London.
After boarding a London bus, you will know exactly where you are at all times, an on-board display and voice announcement system will keep you informed, by signalling your destination at each stop along your route.
Buses are being, added to the ever-growing fleet of London buses with Bendy buses being, recently introduced. Bendy buses are really two single-decker buses fitted together with a flexible, bending joint in the middle. They have the capacity to seat up to 140 passengers. They are easily accessible as they have an automatically lowering floor-system as well as three doors. Bendy buses are very efficient as they are operate a pay-before-entry system, hence cutting back on waiting times.
