TfL Bus Route Maps (now using Google Maps)

TfL Bus Route Maps (now using Google Maps)

Transport for London (TfL) have launched Bus Maps using Google Maps.
*almost a contender for best UK Map Mashup Ever.

Example route 38 Daytime with all bus stops listed

Night-time Route 38 - with all stops.

Optional Night or Daytime Routes

Clear Directions and all stops included

Nice 'search for routes near here' feature
Search other nearby routes or plan your journey - or check for planned disruption.



Timetables and Bus frequency is available for all bus stops making it much easier to find your best routes.

If this were in 'real-time' - similar to Real-Time Buses on Google Maps 'University of Michigan Magic Bus' then this would be one of the best Google Map UK Mashups ever >> Met Office Invent still leads that in @mapperz opinion. Still a very good update to what was on offer before.
