TfL

1) Transport for London. An executive arm of the Greater London Authority (GLA) reporting to the Mayor of London (not to be confused with the Lord Mayor of the City of London).

Following election of the first ever Mayor for London on 4 May 2000, responsibility for London buses, Dial-a-Ride, Victoria Coach Station and London River Service was incorporated as Transport Trading Ltd and the Docklands Light Railway and the Woolwich Ferry were also transferred to TfL. It will assume responsibility for London Underground on completion of the PPP. This body, comprising 14 board members and chaired by the Mayor, is responsible for delivering the capital's integrated transport policy.
