Second London Superloop proposal welcomed

Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, has been called upon by the London Assembly to work with Members on proposed routes for the launch of the second phase of the city’s Superloop.

The Superloop initiative launched in July 2023. It saw the introduction of a network of ten express bus routes which improves connections and journey times between key outer London town centres and transport hubs.

Members of the London Assembly welcomed the plans for a second phase of the Superloop.

The Assembly has called on the Mayor to prioritise communities which are currently under-served by public transport in determining the routes for Superloop 2. North of Waltham Forest, Havering and the more rural parts of Bromley were listed as potential areas it would like the network to serve.

“The Superloop has brought better connections and journey times to Londoners since July 2023” – London Assembly’s Bassam Mahfouz AM

The Assembly’s Bassam Mahfouz AM said: “People in London want reliable, accessible and safe public transport which gets them from A to B in the quickest time possible. The Superloop has brought better connections and journey times to Londoners since July 2023.

“Ridership has already increased by 9% within the last year, showing there’s immense appetite and already a huge success.

“Londoners want more! The Superloop 2 proposals are a game changer in better connecting other parts of our city with express routes that will transform commutes and boost travel for leisure and shopping by bus in London.”
