Further COVID-19 and Commissioner update

Transport for London (TfL) is acting on the Government's direction in response to the COVID-19 virus that all transport services and travel should now be solely focused on ensuring critical workers can move around as needed. People should not be using public transport or travelling for anything other than essential journeys. As a result of this, passenger journeys on London Underground have fallen by approximately 70 per cent and are likely to fall further. Journeys on London's buses have reduced by around 40 per cent and are likely to fall further with school closures.

The financial impact of the reduction in our services and other business interruption caused by the response to COVID-19 virus is part of the collective national and global fight to control the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the NHS and other critical public services. TfL is in constructive discussions with Government about how that impact will be managed.

TfL also announces that considering these unprecedented events, Mike Brown MVO, Commissioner of TfL, whom TfL announced on 17 October 2019 had accepted another appointment outside TfL, will now continue as Commissioner to lead TfL through the coming months.
