Pe scurt:
TfL e controlat de un consiliu director numit de primar.

TfL are trei directii: metrou (London Underground), trenuri (London Rail), transport de suprafata.

Directia de metrou are in subordine metroul, intretinerea facandu-se de entitati private.
Directia de trenuri are in subordine London Overground, DLR-ul, tramvaiul (London Trams) si coordoneaza operatorii feroviari privati
Transportul de suprafata are autobuzele (London Buses), dial-a-ride (pentru cei cu dizabilitati), servicii fluviale (coordonare si licentiere), strazile, congestion charging-ul, birou licentiere taxiuri&co, autogara Victoria, + alte servicii de promovare, coordonare, control si taxare (biciclete, pietoni, parcari, control bilete, etc)

London Trams administreaza reteaua de tramvai subcontractand-o operatorilor privati.

London Buses planifica linii, specifica si monitorizeaza nivelul calitatii serviciului oferit, administreaza statiile de autobuz si autogarile (minus Victoria), ofera informatii calatorilor (orare, harti, pliante), are dispecerat central.

Liniile de autobuz sunt licitate pe cinci ani. Operatorii vin cu soferii, autobuze, si respecta un set de regului. TfL plateste in schimb fiecare kilometru al fiecarui autobuz in serviciu.

Evoluția canalelor navigabile din Londra:

Next year London's ultra-low emission zone will expand across the entire city. Owners of polluting cars will pay £12.50/day to drive in the zone.

To prepare, London is adding bus service and offering a " £110m scrappage scheme" to dump older cars.

Totusi, in practica, chiar se pot bloca usile individual? Vad ca nici macar nu este vorba despre intregul vagon, ci doar de anumite usi.
2 la mana, este doar o situatie temporara? Sau una dintre cele mai bogate metropole ale lumii nu mai este capabila nici sa rezolve atata lucru?

Ceva in genul ar trebui implementat la viitoarele BM5 avand in vedere situatia de la Bazilescu.

TfL le transmite călătorilor un "status update" simpatic. Vor avea nevoie diseară:
