Transport for London (TfL) has published its draft Annual Report and Statement of Accounts for the year ending March 31st. 

An estimated 30 million journeys are made on TfL services every single day, contributing to a record year for the organisation. 

Demand is growing across all parts of the network, driven in part by London's population rise to its highest ever level at 8.6 million. 

Some half a billion more public transport journeys a year are now being made compared to five years ago, with 1.3 billion passenger journeys a year on the London Underground service alone. 

Mayor of London Boris Johnson praised TfL for having risen to the challenges presented by the enormous task of accommodating this many trips. 

"Delivering continued improvements to transport in London - as well pressing for major new projects such as Crossrail 2 - is going to be crucial for the capital's continued success as a major global city," he commented.
