Buses in London information


A 2005 Alexander ALX400 passing a 1963 AEC Routemaster

Buses have been used as a mode of public transport in London since 1829, when George Shillibeer started operating a horse-drawn omnibus service from Paddington to the City of London. In the decades since their introduction, the red London bus has become a symbol of the city.

As of 2023, London has 675 bus routes served by over 8,600 buses, almost all of which are operated by private companies under contract to (and regulated by) London Buses, part of the publicly-owned Transport for London.[1][2] Over 1,100 buses in the fleet are battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell buses, the second largest zero emission bus fleet in Europe (behind Moscow).[3] In 2006, London became one of the first major cities in the world to have an accessible, low floor bus fleet.[4][5]
