Superloop is an express bus network in Greater London, England, that forms part of the London Buses network and connects Outer London town centres, railway stations and transport hubs.
The first service became operational on 15 July 2023. All ten of the first phase of routes are operational as of April 2025. Bus stops served by Superloop routes have specific branding to differentiate.
The Superloop branded proposal for a network of express orbital bus routes was announced on 28 March 2023 at a cost of £6 million. Transport for London noted that the proposals form part of improvements to transport in outer London in light of the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in August 2023. The proposal was praised by the Campaign for Better Transport and Heathrow Airport Holdings; however, Nick Rogers AM of the Conservative Party called the proposal a "superflop" drawing attention to the "repacking of existing bus routes".
Routes SL2 and SL3 continue to improve, routes SL6, SL8 and SL9 have not met performance standards, and route SL7 is susceptible to traffic conditions due to it being the longest bus route in London at 23.75 miles.
Transport for London (TfL) is a local government body responsible for most of the transport network in London, United Kingdom.
Since the current organisation's creation in 2000 as part of the Greater London Authority (GLA), TfL has been responsible for operating multiple urban rail networks, including the London Underground and Docklands Light Railway, as well as London's buses, taxis, principal road routes, cycling provision, trams, and river services. It does not control all National Rail services in London, although it is responsible for London Overground and Elizabeth line services. The underlying services are provided by a mixture of wholly owned subsidiary companies (principally London Underground), by private-sector franchisees (the remaining rail services, trams and most buses) and by licencees (some buses, taxis and river services). Fares are controlled by TfL, rail services fares calculated using numbered zones across the capital.
TfL is controlled by a board whose members are appointed by the Mayor of London,[58] a position held by Sadiq Khan since May 2016. The Commissioner of Transport for London reports to the Board and leads a management team with individual functional responsibilities.
The Oyster card is a contactless smart card system introduced for the public in 2003, which can be used to pay individual fares (pay as you go) or to carry various Travelcards and other passes. It is used by scanning the card at a yellow card reader. Such readers are found on ticket gates where otherwise a paper ticket could be fed through, allowing the gate to open and the passenger to walk through, and on stand-alone Oyster validators, which do not operate a barrier. Since 2010, Oyster Pay as you go has been available on all National Rail services within London. Oyster Pay as you go has a set of daily maximum charges based on the zones used in the day.
