A new 'Superloop' style bus network will launch across London as part of a £6m investment package into the capital's public transport system.
Alex Williams, chief customer and strategy officer at Transport for London, said: ‘The Superloop complements a million additional bus kilometres committed by the mayor in the capital’s outer ring and includes improvements from Sutton in the south to Brent Cross in the north, as well as transformational changes to London’s rail network outside the centre of the city.’
Ben Curtis, of Campaign for Better Transport, said: ‘Millions across the capital use the bus every day and we are delighted that thousands more will now benefit from a joined-up public transport network thanks to the introduction of Superloop services.’John Holland-Kaye, CEO of Heathrow Airport said bus routes were ‘vital’ for thousands of workers and and passengers travelling to the hub.
‘We welcome the announcement of a Superloop service that will provide quicker connections and we look forward to continuing to work with the mayor to deliver vital connectivity in outer London,’ he said. Conservative London Assembly Member Nick Rogers described the plans as a ‘superflop’ which ‘amounts to nothing more than a repackaging of existing routes and vague promises’.
‘The mayor’s rushed plans have been thrown together in a panic and do nothing to address the devastating impact of his ULEZ tax.’
