Many bus schedules in London will be undergoing changes across London over the course of Mother’s Day weekend.

TfL buses align with the Mayor’s Transport Strategy aiming for 80 per cent of journeys via foot, bike, or public transport by 2041.

There is currently a bus fleet of around 9,300 buses which follow across 675 different routes.
