TfL is Fighting Rush-hour Congestion

                                                                                         

Transport for London (TfL), created in 2000 is an integrated body responsible for the Capital's transport system. The primary role of TfL, which is a functional body of the Greater London Authority, is to implement the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy and manage transport services across the Capital. TfL manages London's transport network being responsible for London's buses, the Underground, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the management of Croydon Tramlink and London River Services. In addition, TfL manages the central London Congestion Charging scheme and regulate the city's taxis and private hire trade.

TfL has produced a 20-year policy vision called ‘Transport 2025' which is aiming to help Londoners move through the capital in the new condition of the growing number of the population and commuters.

One of the ideas promoted by TfL is to encourage big employers to stagger working hours so they can help reduce rush-hour congestion. TfL suggests that big companies should allow more flexible arrangements with working hours while the employees are encouraged to change their commuting habits.

Another solution offered by TfL is to introduce higher rush-hour fares for the most congested public transport routes.
