The Bakerloop is here, and from today, it's totally free for one week! Running an express service from Waterloo to Lewisham, it traces the route of the proposed Bakerloo line extension. All aboard! 🚍

TfL’s new series of its award-winning Mind the Gap podcast has launched, telling the story of Transport for London since 2000. I’m delighted to be featured in this series, as we mark TfL’s 25th anniversary this year. Listen to the first episode here: madeby.tfl.gov.uk/2024/07/08/m...

In London, hate will never win.

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

Pedicabs could be a fun, quick and green way to get around London, but they’re currently unregulated, which can lead to antisocial driving, loud music and steep overcharging. So, we're planning to regulate pedicabs for the first time in London, to make London safer and greener.

🚍 Great to join @MayorofLondon at Stockwell Bus Garage to open @Go_Ahead_London’s new state-of-the-art Operations Control Centre. This facility will help deliver safer, more reliable journeys for over a million Londoners every day - a huge step forward for our bus network. 👏

A really interesting afternoon spent at British Transport Police offices in Victoria. We spoke about issues facing London’s transport network including sexual offences and the recent rise in graffiti. We will keep working together to build a better, safer London for everyone.

It’s official: the Silvertown Tunnel is proving a big win for London. Public transport use has more than doubled! A new report from TfL demonstrates that the tunnel is achieving its key aims of easing congestion, increasing public transport use and improving journeys for all bit.ly/4kUhdHw

Great news for Tube travellers - more of the Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines now have 4G and 5G coverage - keeping Londoners connected underground. 📶 From Euston to Bank, Balham to South Wimbledon, the rollout continues!

A real honour to meet @mayoroliviachow.ca of Toronto 🇨🇦 today for a highly productive discussion on shared challenges and opportunities for our cities: building high-quality housing, tackling congestion, promoting active travel and much more.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Incredible turnout and atmosphere in Budapest as huge crowds march in defiance of Viktor Orbán. Mayor Karácsony has shown tremendous leadership, and the organisers huge courage. It was an honour to march in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQI+ community.

I’m in Hungary with representatives from cities, parliaments and the EU to represent the Mayor of @london.gov.uk at Budapest Pride. Viktor Orbán’s govt tried to ban the march but it will go ahead thanks to Mayor Gergely Karácsony. We stand in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQ+ community.

These people are heroes

Chris Bryant has explained why Pride is still needed, in a speech to fellow MPs.

Great to welcome experts from across Europe & Canada to the C40cities Green and Healthy Streets Workshop this morning as part of #LCAW25 This workshop is a vital opportunity to share knowledge, build partnerships, & accelerate the transformative action our cities urgently need.

The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.

Great to be in Barnet today on our Big Community Transport Tour. 🚌 Rode the SL10 Superloop express service 🤝 Met with councillors and local community 🚉 Saw progress on step-free access at Colindale Station

Encouraging @TfL data shows road casualties are at their lowest levels outside of the pandemic. Just one death or serious injury is one too many, and we are committed to eliminating them from our roads by 2041, as part of the Mayor’s Vision Zero Strategy. tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/road-ca...

🎂 Happy 3rd birthday to the Elizabeth Line! At over 500m journeys so far, it’s already the UK's most popular railway. 🚆 It's proof of the value to the UK of investing in London, to create new economic growth with thousands of new jobs and homes along its route and beyond.

🇮🇹 Honoured to have recently attended the POLIS Network Leadership Summit in Rome to discuss the future of urban mobility and engage with cities facing similar challenges. 🧵👇

Very encouraging data which shows the positive impact the new Silvertown Tunnel is having in east and southeast London. The route 108 which travels through the Blackwall Tunnel has seen a significant increase in reliability since the Silvertown Tunnel opened 🎉

Ich freue mich aufs nächste Jahr - in Österreich 🇦🇹 Gratulieren JJ!! 🍾 #Eurovision

Viva Italia!! 🇮🇹

🇫🇮 🇫🇮 🇫🇮

call the UK Attila because the huns are here

Fantastic visit to Lambeth today! 🚶‍♀️🌿 Joined Cllrs Claire Holland & Rezina Chowdhury on a walk from Streatham Hill to Brixton - great to see work underway to make safer crossings, better bus lanes, greener streets, and more space for walking & cycling

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would boost growth not only in London, but across Britain and Europe. Amid global uncertainty, closer EU ties are a win-win for our future prosperity. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Making London’s transport network as accessible as possible is a top priority for the Mayor and TfL. It was great to meet with @drrosena.bsky.social today in Tooting to discuss how to make her borough’s stations more accessible

Happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺

When it comes to the housing crisis, we clearly face an extraordinary challenge. As Mayor, I'm determined to give it everything we've got—with a radical step-change in our approach. www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...

👏 Bold leadership from @MayorofLondon on tackling the housing crisis facing our city. Sadiq is right: an out-of-date status quo on housebuilding is holding us back. Unlocking the 'grey belt' means new homes for the next generation of Londoners to thrive. 👇 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Today we remember the extraordinary sacrifice of a generation who - 80 years ago - defied the appeasers and refused to take the easy way out, who chose to stand up to tyranny and hatred. Raise a glass to freedom today and honour those who told fascism where to go!

Fare evasion deprives TfL of vital revenue that should be invested in London’s transport network, which is why they are committed to halving it by 2030. These new measures will help create a safer and fairer network for everyone.

💡Safer and greener streets benefit both the environment & our health. TfL has agreed £87.6m of funding over 3 years with London boroughs to deliver projects making London safer and more accessible for all, including new cycle routes, School Streets and pedestrian crossings ://bit.ly/4lTWSnF

⏳ One week to go! Don’t miss your chance to shape the future of Oxford Street. Take part in the consultation here: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/oxford-street

Toilet provision can make the difference in whether or not someone travels by public transport, so it's great that a brand-new accessible toilet has opened at White Hart Lane, funded by @london.gov.uk biggest ever investment in toilets on the network.

In Parliament this morning for meetings with Dan Francis MP, James Asser MP & Uma Kumaran MP to discuss bus provision, the Silvertown Tunnel, cycle safety and the Mayor's focus on investing in strategic infrastructure to unlock thousands of new homes and stimulate investment.

London’s future as Europe’s premier city depends on openness and partnership. Great piece from Sadiq Khan making the case for a youth mobility scheme that would boost skills, grow our economy, and build stronger links with our neighbours, friends, allies and partners.

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would boost economic growth and provide exciting opportunities for young people. At a time of so much global uncertainty deepening our partnership with EU partners is a win-win for our growth and prosperity. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...

Great to be at the Railway Museum last night to hear Heidi Alexander set out her vision for a Decade of Transport: delivering fairer, more reliable public transport that unlocks opportunity and drives economic growth.

In Walthamstow this afternoon with Stella Creasy MP to see the safety improvements TfL have made to the bus station. Safety is the Mayor’s number one priority and TfL is committed to making the network safer for Londoners through its comprehensive Bus Safety Programme.

Accessibility is at the heart of everything the Mayor and TfL do, so it was great to meet yesterday with the NY🗽 Dept of Transportation to discuss how we can make cities as accessible as possible, and share best practice on building accessibility into our transport networks.

The day has come! The Silvertown Tunnel, whose plans were first announced in 2012, is now open. This brand-new tunnel, an impressive feat of engineering, will offer an alternative river crossing to the Blackwall tunnel & make journey times faster and more reliable for Londoners.

The Silvertown Tunnel is now open—transforming travel across the Thames, cutting journey times and improving air quality. With a greener design, new free zero-emission buses and a cycle shuttle, it will encourage more people to switch to greener transport.

Build it and they will come! 🚲 🚲 🚲

TfL has launched its vision for taxi and private hire services setting four key goals and 14 actions to support the taxi trade, private hire industry and passengers over the coming years. Taxi and Private Hire Action Plan 2025 content.tfl.gov.uk/taxi-private-h…

Enjoyed speaking last night at TfL’s 25th 🎂 anniversary 🚄🚌🚴 From Oyster Cards to the Elizabeth Line, London’s transport has been transformed over past 25 years - making the city greener, fairer & more connected. #TfL25

Lovely to join @transportforlondon.bsky.social ‘s 25th birthday party last night with great speeches from @sebdance.bsky.social and Andy Lord.

Both Vienna and London want the same thing - safer, sustainable cities, where more people take active and public transport. Greatly enjoyed sharing the successes and challenges with my Viennese counterpart Ulli Sims alongside Will Norman, London’s Walking & Cycling Commissioner.
