Every day, we help millions of people to make journeys across London: By Tube, bus, tram, car, bike – and more. People don’t associate us with journeys by river, on foot or via the air, but we help with that, too. Getting people to where they need to go has been our business for over 100 years, and it shows. We’re leaders in our field, and no other city’s transport system is quite as recognisable: Red buses, black taxis, Tube trains and roundels have become icons in their own right. Our main job is to keep the city moving, working and growing but to do that, we have to listen. Constant improvements across the network are fuelled by feedback and comments from customers, as well as work within communities, representative groups, businesses and other London transport stakeholders. But our progress also depends on technology and data. With the future at our fingertips, we’ve already used it to revolutionise travel payments (think Oyster and contactless payment cards), and improved travel information. Tech and data is essential, not just to our future, but to others’: third parties use our data to power apps and services vital to customer journeys. So what’s next? As well as continuing to deliver Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s strategy and commitments on transport, our programme of capital investments is still one of the largest. We launched the Elizabeth line, we’re modernising services and stations and making travel safer for all.

BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading community-based travel app enabling 29 million active members a year to share a ride in 21 countries. Its technology matches drivers with empty seats with passengers heading the same way, so they can share the cost of the trip. With the mission to be the go-to marketplace for shared travel, BlaBlaCar combines carpooling with bus journeys from over 6 000 operators to offer a wide choice of affordable and sustainable travel solutions, all in one app. In 2024, BlaBlaCar’s trusted community connected 2.6 million meeting points worldwide and enabled 120 million human connections. Carpool drivers saved 538 million euros, and all BlaBlaCar’s mobility services contributed to avoiding 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Hi there. We’re Zipcar, the world’s leading car-sharing network, driven to make cities better places to live. We started with a simple but brilliant idea: get more people sharing cars than owning them. 26 years later, we're still on a mission to enable simple and responsible urban living by providing cars on demand to members.
