Frequently asked questions

How much is a bus fare in London?

A single London bus journey costs £1.75 with contactless or Oyster, and the Hopper fare lets you change buses or trams as many times as you like within an hour at no extra cost. There is a daily cap, and cash is not accepted on London buses. The £3 England-wide single fare cap does not apply in London — the £1.75 fare is cheaper anyway.

Are London bus times live?

Yes. London stop pages on this site show true countdown times from TfL’s own vehicle-tracking feed — the same data as the countdown signs at the stop — rather than just the printed timetable. Open any stop below to see it.

How many bus routes are there in London?

There are 658 London bus routes serving 17,245 stops across 654 areas, run under contract to Transport for London. Night buses (prefixed N) and 24-hour routes are included.

Do London buses run all night?

Many do. London has a large night network: 24-hour routes run right through, and N-prefixed night buses run roughly from midnight to 5am, seven days a week. Each route page here shows its own first and last departures for every day of the week.
