Bus operators
London bus network
Most bus services in London are run by private operators who have been awarded a contract by TfL. The tendering process that applicants go through also influences things like routes, service quality, frequency and bus stopping arrangements.

Commercial buses
A small number of bus services in London are run by commercial operators and are not part of TfL's competitive route tendering process. Instead, operators interested in running this type of service need to apply for a London Service Permit.
