Community
We provide vital transport services to communities, connecting people and communities with each other. Critical to the economic competitiveness of communities, public transport carries many people to work, places of education and other destinations every day.
As well as providing transport connections we support the communities in which we work through broader social and charitable partnerships. We measure our contributions using the London Benchmarking Group model.
