Why?
Bus travel accounts for a large proportion of the journeys to work in Croydon and
many school and shopping trips. With limited scope to increase the capacity of the
road network, the efficiency, convenience and punctuality of public transport needs
to improve. The bus system is critical to this endeavour, especially for sub-regional
and local transport.
Stakeholder Engagement Since March 2012:
Improvements will continue to be made across the borough through the
consultation process. Where appropriate, TfL will seek s106 funding to meet
demand, particularly in the COA.
Progress Since March 2012:
There have been significant improvements in Excess Waiting Time and On Time
(punctuality) improvements over the last 10 years. Since 2012, there have been
frequency enhancements and structural changes day and night to improve a more
efficient and convenient service.
August 2012: Introduction of N64 and and N109, which brought previously
unserved areas of Croydon onto the night bus network (Selsdon) and
increased night frequency to other areas (Thornton Heath-Croydon).
October 2009: Increase of evening and Sunday frequency on route 407 from
