Commercial consulting & international operations

Transport for London operates transport in one of the world's truly great cities, facilitating tens of millions of journeys across the capital every day. We also plan, design and implement the safest, most efficient, advanced and cost-effective transport solutions in the world.

While we're keeping London moving, we also work with transport authorities, governments, and transport operators, locally and globally, so others can learn, and benefit, from our experience.

Our experience

We innovate. We have made ageing assets and infrastructure fit for today's modern, 24-hour capital. We are one of the world's largest users of contactless technology, and the most Integrated Transport Authority of any global city. We are leaders in a wide variety of fields from Healthy Streets and air quality improvements to bus and metro operation, maintenance, and strategy.

Our consultants have a diverse range of skills and experience honed during their time at TfL. We are unlike other consultancies - our staff have direct experience of planning, delivering and operating transport in a global city. We help cities improve transport for their communities by drawing on these world-leading skills to help clients tackle the most complex transport challenges.

We advise clients on projects at all stages, from concept and feasibility, through procurement and project management, to commissioning, operational planning and delivery. A project could be a bus interchange or a mega project like the multi-billion pound Crossrail scheme.

What we offer

We work directly with clients and in partnership with other companies and government organisations across three key areas:

Advisory - sharing our unique perspective and the lessons we've learned in delivering innovative, world-class urban mobility solutions, by connecting experts from across the business to apply our knowledge to other cities.

Skill-share - our experts share their skills and knowledge with counterparts in other cities, through courses, seminars, workshops and site visits.

Intellectual Property and Licensing - we've developed tools, systems and solutions that we can tailor to help improve the efficiency and customer experience of other cities' transport systems.
