Now there's a new interactive map that shows exactly which London bus stops are the busiest so you can avoid (or mentally prepare yourself for) them. Created by travel expert and journalist Ed Jefferson, the London's Busiest Bus Stops map allows you to search for any stop in the city. That's 19,000 stops across 700 different routes. Jefferson used 2024 TfL data obtained from a Freedom of Information request (FOI) that revealed the number of passengers that boarded at each bus stop in the capital.

Godwin said she does "not anticipate" that she will fund asylum seekers' travel out of her budget. But she added Home Office-issued tickets would offer "a cheaper and greener way for people to attend essential appointments." Asylum seekers living in hotels are given 9.95 per week. Those living in Bristol have to travel to Patchway for mandatory meetings with the Home Office. A single bus ticket costs 2.50, or 6.50 for a daily pass.

An Coimisiun Pleanala decided to grant permission generally in accordance with an inspector's recommendation, which is contained in a 1,600 page report.

I'm fine now, but I won't pretend I wasn't shaken, she said. For a week I second-guessed every bump, every look, even crossed the road to avoid people. I shared the incident online and since the TikTok went viral, with that came an influx of more racist comments. Ms Choudry said the experience had left her heartbroken and triggered painful memories of growing up in Sunderland, where she was the only brown girl and suffered racism.

This weekend, however, they're officially back in the capital. The Gallagher brothers will return to the Wembley stage for two final shows on September 27 and 28. With 90,000 fans heading to Wembley each night, you hardly need us to tell you that public transport is going to be mega busy. So however you plan to get to the stadium, make sure you leave with plenty of time to spare.

Hispacold has announced the start of serial production of HVAC systems using natural refrigerant R290 for public transport vehicles. The development, according to the supplier, marks a first in the sector and aligns with the European F-Gas Regulation (EU 517/2014), which promotes the adoption of sustainable, low-impact refrigerants.

There is one noise, however, that seems to irritate people more than most others: the sound of other people's phones on public transport. Whether it's the entirety of Justin Bieber's new album, the screams and eery songs from the latest episode of Squid Game, five second TikTok videos or their handy man on speaker phone - being subject to someone else's phone activity can be enough to drive anyone over the edge.

The exhibition, Next Stop, at the Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives, showcases the evolution of transport in East London over 900 years.

It is awful and unacceptable that 10 people were murdered in the subway system in 2024. Convert that to the standard way of measuring mortality risk, deaths per 100,000 population, and the risk for someone who rode the subway 500 times in 2024 is 0.4 in 100,000. The risk of being murdered underground is ... orders of magnitude less than the risk of dying from a traffic accident elsewhere in the U.S.
