About this app

Travel confidently around London with Transport for London's official app, built around our iconic live Tube map. Try switching to step-free mode and watch the map adjust to show only accessible stations, ensuring your journeys are as smooth as possible. With a clear, user-friendly design, TfL Go is easy for everyone to use.

Find the Best Route
We'll suggest multiple ways to get to your destination, whether by Tube, London Overground, Elizabeth line, DLR, Tram, National Rail, IFS Cloud Cable Car, or even cycling and walking. You choose the route that suits you best.

Check Before You Travel
Get live arrival times for Buses, Tube, London Overground, Elizabeth Line, DLR, Tram, and National Rail. Check the live status of all TfL lines and stations directly on the map, or view a summary of current disruptions in the "Status" section.

Freedom to Explore
Find travel options tailored to your needs, including step-free journeys and routes avoiding stairs or escalators. Journey plans automatically adapt to the accessibility status of stations, helping you avoid disruptions. TfL Go also supports TalkBack and different text sizes, making it more accessible for everyone.

Manage Your Payments
Create an account or log in to manage your payments for travel across London. Top up pay as you go credit or purchase Travelcards for your Oyster card, and view your journey history for both Oyster and contactless cards registered to your account.

Note: Oyster and contactless accounts can only be accessed within UK/Europe.

Understand Station Facilities
Check how busy a station is right now, or see if it has toilets or Wi-Fi access. Find detailed information about step-free access and interchanges including platform gap width, step height and boarding methods available.

I use the bus not the tube, it would be nice if it allowed me to default to the bus map and skip the whole pretty but completely useless splash screen when you start up. also add the bus details like number plate at arrival time so I don't have to do the mental maths. The biggest problem is that I can only see stops that are geographically close to me. Other apps allow you to search anywhere on the map.

Hi JW. We’ve made a lot of improvements to the bus area since your review including saved stops, showing routes on map, accessing any bus stop, and live bus location. Hopefully you give us another try.

Could have been so much more useful. For example the bus stop feature only shows you stops near where you currently are, and doesn't seem to allow setting favourites or even searching for locations on the map. And while it shows which buses stop and when, there is no info on the bus route, just the destination. Very unlikely to use and will probably ditch.

This app has a lot of good features. I like that you can quickly go to bus stops near you to pick the one you want. There is then a map view to select other nearby ones but I've found this quite buggy. I do think this app could be improved by having 'favourites'. I.e., marked bus or tube stops which I can quickly access. It would be good to also include functionality to click on a bus route or train route and get the timetable, list of forthcoming stops, expected time of arrival at these stops.

Hi there Mike! Thanks so much for your honest feedback and great suggestions will be sure to pass these on to our developers! If you find the app being buggy please delete and reinstall the latest version of the app this should help! Sadia
