Description
Been using the TfL Go: Plan, Pay, Travel app for a couple months now. It’s basically the official transport app for getting around London. Pretty solid if you’re into public transit and need help planning your journeys.
Here’s what you can do: You can look up routes by Tube, bus, train, and even walking or cycling. And it’s got live arrival times for all the different lines, so you can see when your next train or bus is coming. There’s also a step-free mode which is super handy if you need accessible stations.
Look, if you live in or visit London a lot, you’ll probably find this app really useful. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job of helping you get where you need to go on public transport. Worth checking out for sure.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on the TfL Go: Plan, Pay, Travel app. I've tested a bunch of transit apps and this one is pretty solid. The live map and route planning features work well, and I like that you can filter for step-free accessibility. The app is easy enough to use, though the interface is a bit outdated in my opinion. It gets the job done, but doesn't really wow you. Compared to other city transit apps I've used, this one is about average - not the best, but definitely not the worst either.

It works but has two key flaws which are really annoying: 1) It doesn't show the zones. This is crucial info and it's such a basic thing to miss off....
I didn't find this app very user friendly. Everytime I find a route, it changes after refreshing. What I miss here are consistent routes. Consistent routes could be harder due...
Since the merger with the Oyster app, really poor. The map bit is useful, but just as easy to use Google maps and that includes all forms of transport, and...
