The shake-up – impacting services across the city – includes altered frequencies, temporary timetables due to ongoing roadworks, and updates to first and last bus times.
TfL is urging passengers to check their routes in advance to avoid disruption.
As one of the world’s largest bus networks, TfL operates over 9,000 buses across 700 routes.
The service offers a flat fare of £1.75, with unlimited travel within one hour through the Hopper fare.
Accessibility and sustainability are key priorities, with many wheelchair-accessible buses and an increasing number of electric and hybrid vehicles, aiming for a zero-emission fleet by 2034.
