We answered

Our ref: FOI-2554-1920

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 18 November 2019 asking for information about the frequency of public transport.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.

Unfortunately, from the information provided, we are unable to answer your request.

We operate a wide range of public transport, including the London Underground, which has 11 lines. The frequency of each differs, and changes throughout the day to cover the peak periods. Similarly there are over 700 bus routes, again with different frequencies which change throughout the day. We also operate Trams, London Overground, TfL Rail and the Docklands Light Railway, all of which have different frequency of services.  Your question is therefore too broad to answer. However if you are interested in a specific line, or bus route we could more readily provide you with information.

You have also asked if the services are always on time. Whilst we always try to provide services as scheduled, a variety of incidents or problems can arise which can cause delays or cancellations.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
