As more of us go back into work, have you started using the Tube or buses again?

TfL is facing a £1.9bn budget black hole and has warned of massive cuts to bus, Tube and road services. It said discussions were continuing with the government as it aimed to secure "long-term funding" - while the Department for Transport has insisted it has "repeatedly shown its commitment" to supporting TfL.

Unions have warned public transport across the capital will grind to a halt without a long-term financial plan.Seb Dance, deputy mayor for transport, welcomed the latest figures and said the capital's network was "crucial for a sustainable recovery", while Andy Lord from TfL said the statistics indicated the public's "continued confidence that services are safe, clean and reliable".

The most recovered services include those arriving between 08:00 and 09:00 at stations near financial institutions - such as Canary Wharf, Mansion House and Aldgate - which have doubled within the last month. Weekend use has increased to about 80% of pre-pandemic busyness in tourist areas such as Leicester Square.
