I'm a new solo traveler and i was in London in March. OMG Metro stations have way too many stairs. I thought i was going to die. Stuck with buses and they're awesome. So easy and no stairs unless you ride upstairs! Plus you get to see so much and no tapping out. I love the buses! I also got to ride on a routemaster bus! Lol i wasn't attention to anything but the number and then i just got on. What a wonderful surprise! Lol i did feel bad for the fellow taking payments. I was sitting in the top along with a family who had a special transit card that they don't take on the bus. While the fellow was dragging with it, he got tossed around a bit. I just used my credit card. It was really fun to experience it even though it cost a little more, i think.

Thank you, Eliza! I must admit, we were intimidated by the London bus system during our visit last year (although we were brave enough to use the Tube). This video will be very helpful for our next visit! :)

Super helpful! I was just there and wish I had this info, but I was able to watch what everyone else did and figure it out. Just sent to a friend visiting later this summer.

Some people from other areas of england need to watch this video!

Buses are underrated, sure they are slow and vulnerable to traffic but at least you know where you are going and they are cheap. I used to love using the train but it can get hot and overcrowded at times. Also the tube map doesn't really do a good job of showing you how close certain locations are. Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Bond Street and Marble Arch are all on the same road. Same goes for Queensway and Bayswater.

Very helpful and specific information. Thank you!

I laughed at the title because there is a bus called the 101 in East London

Perhaps you could mention that London bus divert "very often", which makes passengers fail to arrive at their destination.

So helpful! Looks like it will be okay to travel by bus with a baby and stroller. Thanks for showing that part! Do they open the accessible doors when they see a stroller? Thanks!

Thank you for this video! Do you know if we can purchase more than one ticket with the same phone/card tapping when traveling with senior parents?

Only if you use different devices to pay. We cover this in more detail in our London Transpor Guide: shop.loveandlondon.com/products/london-transport-guide

Good video filled with practical advice. I clicked on the thumbnail because of your amazing hair but the video was good. I use Citymapper too - it helpfully shows the costs of each route, which can vary a lot. If you need to change buses, you might need to move between stops, each of which is designated by a letter which can be seen on the bus stop pole above the numbers of the buses stopping there. And the Citymapper app shows the stop letters and the walking route between them.

when I came to London (38 years ago), I didn't understand at all how the bus, the tube and the overground train system worked, I had to learn it by myself, I mean I got lost in the tube for about 3 hours till I understood how they worked ........... then I came out of Manor Hause tube station, and sat down at one of the bus stop shelters there, and after 1 hour, looking at the bus time table and checking at the tube map ............ I got it!!!!!!.............. now, I could give classes on how to get the best of trains, buses and overground trains.

Thankfully we have apps to make it much easier now (and we cover it ALL in the London Transport Guide: shop.loveandlondon.com/products/london-transport-guide )

The third door on the new routemasters is also used for alighting right?

You mean the back one? It's only for getting off, not getting on.

Hello, If I remember well, buses don't say '' next stop xxx'' they just say '' xxx'', the first few times I thought I had missed my stop, it was very confusing.

If you live in England and are either over 66 or disabled then you can get the encts (English national concessionary travel scheme) and can use it on any bus within England after 9:30, so it can save you instead of having to pay

Is there an official map of all the London bus lines (within a regular street map) - either as an app or as a physical fold-out map?

The TfL website will show you the map for any individual bus route but not for the whole network, although they did used to do that.

As a wheelchair user, I thank you very much!

Hi! So. If I travel with someone, a child for instance, that I want to pay for too, how does that work? Oh thanks. Got the answer since my son is under 11. But how does this work on the underground with the barriers? And since fairs are different for buses and trains, does kids under 11 ride for free on the underground/overground as well?

I've had the pleasure of taking London buses during trips and loved every part of the experience, although the first time one terminated I was surprised. My only caution with contactless payment is that if you're visiting from another country and your bank charges international transaction fees, it could get expensive. To avoid this, I loaded an oyster card so each tap took from that and reduced bank fees.

You shouldn't be using a card with international transaction fees while travelling anyways ;)

Interesting to hear that only one wheelchair user can ride the bus at a time! Is that simply because there's not enough space for two? And does it apply to baby strollers as well? Here in Czechia it is no issue for two baby strollers to be on one bus (haven't seen a lot of wheelchair users in my area so I can't say I've seen two of them on the same bus), though it is a tight fit for everyone, as people from the front have to pass them to get to the back or to get off the bus.

@loveandlondon

Yes that's why! And baby strollers have to make room for wheelchairs as they have priority

Great video, I’ll definitely pass onto friends visiting London. Just a small one - the audio was OK but didn’t seem quite as crisp as usual. Seems a little processed like a bit too much noise reduction was applied? Otherwise great video filled with good information on London’s buses.

So wheelchair users ride the London buses for free? Or is there a way to pay from the middle of the bus
