Travelling in London can be complex, and even more so if you're dependent on having access to toilets along the way. We've made it easier to find in TfL Go - tap on any station on the map, and if toilets are there, tap the new 'Toilet facilities' button for detailed info.

For the #OpenStreetMap folks out there, now that Oxford Street in London is partially pedestrianised, does it make sense to retain separately mapped footpaths or sidewalks along that section vs a single Pedestrian Street?

Yep it's a process! Multiple identity and payment systems are just the start 😃

Tell us! What is your pet peeve about Google Maps when it comes to cycling?

When allowing car parking on a street means using up this much footpath, something is wrong.

As of this week, Android users can update to version 3.16.0 and see live bus locations in TfL Go - enjoy!

Callum Mcleod@almostantarctic.bsky.social

Live bus arrival times are great, but some prefer the confidence of seeing where their bus is on a map, to help judge when it'll arrive. Today we've updated TfL Go to show live bus locations - tap on any arrival for your stop and zoom out. iOS only, Android coming. apps.apple.com/gb/app/tfl-g...

1 July

I'm excited to announce that TfL Go now supports Dark Mode on iOS. After a bit of a hiccup where we accidentally released part of this last week without the proper settings, today with v3.14.0 you can choose to follow the System setting, or force TfL Go into Dark or Light mode.

1 July

We're also really keen to get feedback on this, so in the settings area where you can choose the mode, there's a link to a short survey - please fill it out and tell us what works, what doesn't so we can bring improvements.

1 July

For the Android users out there, we haven't forgotten you, but we have some foundational work to do before we're able to bring this, so please be patient with us.

We’ve released a further update today on iOS making it even easier to access the live bus location. Filter by a route and you’ll see all buses travelling that route and direction.

And conveniently, TfL Go is a useful way to plan cycling journeys that utilise these cycleways as we prioritise our routes to use them as much as possible 🚲

Will Norman@willnorman.co.uk

Cycling in London has soared to 1.5m journeys every day. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 We've grown London's Cycleway network from 90 to 430km There’s no doubt that London is fast becoming a cycling city. standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

The truth is, it's not that unusual to encounter a disruption when travelling by public transport in London (or anywhere I suppose!), and this can be quite painful. If you have to open an app or website to check this each time you travel, it just adds to the frustration - what if you forget? 1/n

Instead, we've carefully crafted short sentences to tell you exactly what type of disruption is affecting your line, which part of the line, and even which direction of travel! If you want more information, just tap on the notification and you can see the full status message inside TfL Go 5/n

To set it up, tap on your line in Status, tap the bell icon and hit save!

Until very recently, using TfL Go meant you had to remember to check the app each time, otherwise you wouldn't know about any disruptions. Thanks to a heap of effort from many people I work with, now you can set up notification settings for the TfL lines you usually take. 3/n

Given we're catching up to the other apps in this space, we wanted to do something a bit different, so if you set these up, you'll notice that our notifications aren't just telling you the status, or sending you the full status message which can be a lot to interpret sometimes... 4/n

ianvisits.co.ukTfL Go app expands to show every London bus stop and live arrivals city-wideTransport for London has upgraded its free TfL Go travel smartphone app with additional information about bus services across London.

Most apps these days are nice enough to offer something better, proactive notifications so you can hear about these issues ideally before you head out, giving you time to adjust your travel, or change your plans entirely if you have that flexibility. 2/n

Until this week, TfL Go only let you access bus arrival info if you were near the stop. We realised this was limiting people, so now you can move the map to access arrivals for any stop in London, and on iOS you can also see the route overlaid on the map (Android coming soon). Update now! 😃

Last week’s Tube & DLR strikes gave us an opportunity to use our relatively new Major disruption notifications feature in TfL Go to help Londoners know about the strike and communicate the changing impacts in advance. I’d love to hear from anyone who received these - how was your experience?

Great to see the cycle route option on TfL Go now shows users what percentage of their journey will be on a Cycleway, and where those sections are located. We’ve also integrated elevation data to be able to show how and where a route climbs and descends. #LondonLovesCycling

We’ve just introduced a refreshed design for cycle journeys in TfL Go, including full support for crossing the Thames on the brand new and free Silvertown Cycle Shuttle service from day one on both Android and iOS. Try it out, and use the built in feedback button to tell us what you think 😃

When travelling by public transport, it's really important to be able to find out whether there are any disruptions that affect my journey. Today we've updated the Tube & Rail Status page on tfl.gov.uk/status-updates with a few changes to make this task easier. 1/n

Next, we know many people want to plan ahead for a future date, including any disruptions to avoid. We used to have a 'This Weekend' view, but what if you want to know about next Thursday? The week ahead is a new section, showing planned disruptions for the rest of today, and the next 7 days. 3/n

and finally, we've refreshed the design, and improved the accessibility to make it easier for everyone to access and understand the status of Tube and Rail lines. I'd love to hear any feedback - please reach out 😃

Firstly, we recognised that reading a paragraph of text to figure out if you're going to be impacted isn't easy, so now the status includes a brief description indicating which part of the line is impacted, e.g. North Acton to Ruislip. 2/n

As of today, TfL's Oyster and contactless app is no longer available to use - if you want to continue managing your Oyster and contactless cards (topping up, buying travel cards, viewing journey history etc), you'll need to switch to the TfL Go app which added this capability in January.

Yup, it's a big month for our team - we've been working on this for a while now and really excited to make it possible for people to plan their travel, and manage their payments all in the same app 😃

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk

The TfL Go app just got smarter 📲 Londoners will soon be able to check for real-time travel info, view their account journey history, and apply for refunds on the go—all in one app. With over 8M downloads and 1M monthly users, it’s set to make travelling in London easier than ever.

Tonight we released a TfL Go update for iOS (iPhone), with full support for the London Overground changes - please update and check it out! apps.apple.com/us/app/tfl-g... Android update will follow soon, but we wanted to get this out as soon it was ready 😃
