East London Transit
London's first part-segregated bus transit scheme
The East London Transit is a part-segregated bus transit scheme in East London. The scheme was developed by Transport for London due to the existing and anticipated demand for public transport in East London.
The Thames Gateway redevelopment played a massive part in this service being introduced -1000’s of new affordable homes are being built in phases close to the routes. Buses operate in a dedicated livery and are low floor - fully accessible for wheelchair users.
The service interchanges with other modes of public transport including:
National Rail
London Underground
London Overground
TfL Rail
The scheme was extended to Barking Riverside in September 2013, to serve 900 new homes that have recently been built there. Plans have recently been approved to extend the London Overground line from Barking to the area.
