The unparalleled success of the Elizabeth line shows that when you build world class transport, people will choose it.
More than 500 million journeys have been made in its first two and a half years of service, making it the busiest railway service in the country.
More than 90% of customers said that the Elizabeth line has had a positive impact in their area, and I’m not shocked. It’s a pleasure to use—spacious, open, comfortable and—most importantly—fast, delivering great experiences and memories for countless Londoners.
But it’s not just about the Elizabeth line. Our work to make bus fares cheaper by freezing fares five times and introducing the Hopper fare have been key. The same applies to our delivery of both the Night Tube and Superloop bus network, which has transformed travel in outer London.
Investment in public transport matters. It can revolutionise how people experience a city. And it’s just another reason why so many consider London the greatest city in the world.
