Elsewhere in the UK, wholly privatised systems mean there is no overarching owner, and several operators run competing services. The model has recently inspired the Department for Transport to propose a similar state-owned body for national rail called Great British Railways , which is set to launch in The argument for this is compelling.
The London Underground is operated entirely by TfL, but buses, trams and the London Overground are franchised, so while TfL oversees fares, routes and timetables, competitive contracts are awarded to operators to run services, which includes hiring staff and buying or leasing vehicles.
The franchised model simplifies travel for the customer, says Geoff Hobbs, director of public transport service planning at TfL. All other transport modes are capped as well — you can travel all over town for 24 hours and not pay much more than a single average taxi ride. Integration also means design is consistent and information centralised. The TfL website is a one-stop shop for all travel information — up to and including offering you advice on which streets are best suited for cyclists — and staff on the ground tend to have comprehensive knowledge.
Different bus operators are not competing for the most popular routes and neglecting less busy areas, unlike in cities such as Manchester, where a focus on profit has seen several routes cut over recent years. We can make things complementary rather than competitive. Services are timed to avoid long waits between two modes, such as Tube and bus, and walking paths and bike facilities are placed near stations, encouraging more people to incorporate active travel into their journeys.
TfL also has the power to push private operators to be more sustainable. There is a consensus that the most valuable thing transport leaders can do to tackle climate change and air pollution is make services more desirable and efficient.
