Transport for London travel app (iPhone, etc only)

TfL app A new smartphone app from TfL — for iPhones only at the moment — aims to show the trickle of tube travellers the best time to avoid congestion on the network. TfL has long tried to persuade people to shift their journey to quieter times to reduce overcrowding, and while most of us can’t do much about the commute, we often have more flexibility about leisure travel. So TfL has launched a smartphone app, and is making improvements to its open data platforms so that it’s easier to know when public transport is busier, and if walking or cycling alternatives are a viable option. TfL says that these features will develop further based on customer feedback. Initially for the iPhone, an Android version will be available shortly.
