Abstract: The author presents London's transport system from the point of a passenger, a planner and a decision-maker. The paper is aimed at an audience which may not know much about London but is interested to understand what it is that makes things successful in London. It explains the key features of the transport system in London - bus, underground, DLR, tram and commuter rail - and how it is supported and made easy for passengers by good information, interchange and integrated ticketing. The key to its success is integration of policy and planning, which is delivered by a single transport organization (Transport for London, TfL), single political control (Mayor of London) and sufficient funds.

Keywords: public transportation; information; interchange; integrated ticketing; integration of policy and planning
