'I tried the TfL Go app to see if it was better than Citymapper at helping me plan London Underground and bus journeys'

Getting around London can be confusing and you'd be forgiven (and arguably, no less of a Londoner) if you sometimes needed a transport app to help you do it. I know I certainly do.

For me, this transit app has always and exclusively been Citymapper. Delivering me safely to more pub trips, friends' houses and bedtimes than I can count, its bright green interface has become something of a comfort blanket. So, even though it's let me down a handful of times by not informing me about Tube station closures and disruptions quickly enough, or sending me on roundabout routes, I've remained a committed lover.

But after repeatedly spotting adverts for the TfL Go app while onboard the Elizabeth line recently, my curiosity was sufficiently piqued. Could this free app be better at helping me plan my Tube and bus journeys? I decided to put it to the test against Citymapper the next time I needed to go somewhere. And it was so easy and straightforward to use that it's my new favourite transport helper.

My first thought as I clicked on the new Lizzy line purple addition to my home-screen was 'Wow, so clean.' The interface staring back at me was largely white and oddly calming, with a zoomed-in slither of the Tube map taking up the bulk of it. (Only later did I realise that this segment had been chosen according to where I was, with my own rough position denoted by a pulsating blue dot.) At the bottom were two brighter white rectangles labelled 'Where to?' and 'Buses Near You'. A flick of my finger revealed a third called 'Status', dedicated to live service disruptions.

Suddenly, Citymapper's extremely busy rows of square icons (10 total), horizontal bars ('Get Me Somewhere', 'Get Me Home', 'Saved Trips') and colourful background (again, a map showing where I was) seemed overwhelming. Did I ever really use any of them but 'Get Me Somewhere' and 'Maps'? I couldn't think of any instances.

But now came the more important experiment: the route planning. I inputted the beginnings of my destination ( Willows on the Roof , read about it here soon...) and was quickly met with suggestion; next popped up my journey options and, wait, there were only four? I couldn't believe it as I attempted to scroll down beyond 'Cycle', 'Fastest', 'Step-free', and 'Bus only' and met resistance. As someone who is often late and often overwhelmed by having to choose from tens of options, this struck me as a game changer. All that was required of me was to pick the kind of journey I wanted and the TfL Go would do the rest! Goodbye, (some) stress.

Interestingly, cycling was recommended first, an environmentally forward-thinking move that I like. But I was bike-less at the office, so 'Fastest' it was. This meant a journey time of 32 minutes, using a combination of the Jubilee line and my own two feet; my stations were apparently 'quiet' now, information I hadn't thought of considering but was grateful to know. Great, I thought, now Citymapper's turn. The same route popped up top of the Tube column - but to my surprise, there was a discrepancy: my old friend estimated only 27 minutes. I set off.

As I travelled to Canary Wharf station on foot, it became clear that Citymapper was going to be more on the money about the timings. TfL Go allotted me seven minutes to get down to the platform compared to Citymapper's four - and I'd made it in three. This turned out to be the case at the other end, too, with the former giving me 11 minutes to exit the station and clear the 0.3 miles between Bond Street and John Lewis in contrast to the latter's nine. (The Tube estimate was right, though.) So, it wasn't as good at probable human walking speeds.

Unlike its transit rival, it also hadn't given me an exit at the Tube (Citymapper suggested the Marylebone Lane one). And yet, I couldn't help thinking that, even so, the user experience of this app made it by far the one I'd want to use when worse for wear after a night out or stressed and running late pre-work. Citymapper's rows of Tube plus cycle plus walk plus etcetera are confusing strings of symbols needing deciphering at the best of times. Also, I could probably do with that extra time buffer anyway so I turn up closer to on time.

London Public Transport Journey Planners

These are the best apps and tools to plan a journey by public transport in London. We recommend using the options listed below instead of Google to plan a journey.

Citymapper is the most comprehensive public transport planning app for London.

It’s available online or as a free app for ios or android . The online version is now rather limited. The app is much better.

The route planner shows all transport options including cycling, walking and local trains.

The adult Pay as you go Oyster card/contactless fares for each journey are also shown. This make it easy to find the cheapest route.

Transport for London’s TfL Go app is a sleek design and easy to use . It’s the easiest app to find and live departures for underground trains and buses.

It also has a route planner showing options for

• fastest route
• an alternative route (usually bus)

Select ‘Status’ for delay information. You are then able to see if there are any problems on a particular train or underground line.

It defaults to an excellent live tube map, which finds your closest tube station. Click on the underground station, then the name of the station to get the times of the next tube trains.

Click on ‘bus stops’ to see times of the next buses from bus stops near you.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t give fare information. But it’s recommended if you don’t need to know the fare.

Transport for London’s online journey planner

Transport for London’s online Journey Planner shows the quickest way from A to B.

It’s possible to choose bus/tube/train only routes. It also gives you the Pay as you go Oyster peak/contactless and off-peak fares.

Do bear in mind that the default is the quickest route, which is not always the cheapest. For example, to Heathrow Airport:

• under ‘Edit preferences’ deselect ‘National Rail’ to exclude the expensive Heathrow Express train.
• Deselect ‘Elizabeth line’ if you want to exclude that as well.

Early morning or late-night journeys

To be somewhere at a specific time, especially if it’s in the morning or late at night, use the TfL Journey Planner

Mobility issues

If you have mobility issues, you can narrow down your search options to find the best route with:

• Escalators but not stairs
• Stairs but not escalators
• Step-free access to platforms
• Full step-free access

If you just need a tube map and don’t want to use an app, download a pdf tube map to your device.

Best app for Greater London

I live in Greater London so it was difficult to find an app that covered rail stations outside of Central London. I had been using Tube Tamer until the developers left it and it started to crash but this app is as good as Tube Tamer, if not better. I have already used it to go to London a few days ago and it’s gonna be the app I shall be using from now on for my little spontaneous escapades during summer. It’s easy to navigate the app, the instructions are clear, you get train times, you can see the details of the route, it gives you the estimated time of arrival and it’s free. It’s a solid 5/5 from me!

Outstanding app with outstanding developers

This app truly has every feature I could ask for. It even gives updates to changes when certain lines, and there’s even a feature to change the app’s icon. For the people complaining about the times, please remember that the actual times are based off the timetable. If a service leaves earlier or later than expected, it is the driver’s fault. As always, allow a few minutes allowance for this occasion. Overall an excellent app. Very happy😃

Much better than the official TfL app

This is the best iOS app I've found for London bus times. On the Favourites page though, showing the arrival times at ALL your favourite bus stops is a complete waste of screen estate and data- you are only ever interested in ONE of your favourites at any one time, so it would be much better just to show the list of favourites and then to tap on the appropriate one to see the arrival times.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

What is the TfL Journey Planner and how to use it?

Share this with

With more rail, tube, and bus strikes potentially on the horizon, getting around London can prove troublesome during industrial action. However, there are ways to plan your journey effectively in advance to help minimise disruption.

The latest tube maps (including stations that avoid stairs, accept cycles, and more) are published on the TfL.go.UK website for when services are running.

However, for smartphone users, the official TfL Go app helps you plan tube, bus, and rail journeys around the capital (including an update for the newly opened Elizabeth line ) and live reports on service disruption across London.

If, for any reason, you are unable to access the app, the TfL Journey Planner is also available via the browser on your PC, laptop, phone, and more.

What is the TfL Journey Planner?

The TfL Journey Planner is a website run by Transport for London that works similarly to the National Rail Enquiries page. It allows you to search and plan your journeys across London in advance. 

However, the journey planner seeks to be an all-encompassing solution for transport that goes beyond rail travel.

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video

For example, it will show you options for cycling, cycle hire, bus routes, and more. The site also gives you walking routes, with the option to view written directions or to open the path in Google maps.

The app encourages users to walk or cycle where possible and also gives the option to discover quieter times to travel, which can be particularly useful if you are not in a rush to make your trip.

How to use the TfL Journey Planner

Beginning on the TfL Journey Planner homepage , you can input your potential journey details based on geographical locations, underground stations, bus stops, and more.

Latest London news

• 10 best London deals from iconic restaurants to theatre shows
• Flights delayed at Gatwick as thunderstorms roll in
• 25 things to do in London this weekend September 21-22

To get the latest news from the capital visit Metro.co.uk's London news hub .

This allows you to pinpoint your starting place and destination. The site also gives you the option to pick from any journeys you’ve recently entered. Any updates or strike action will also be listed in a yellow banner at the top of the homepage.

The default allows you to plan a journey departing now, but you can alter the departure time if you are planning your trip further in advance.  

Once you have entered your journey details, you’ll be presented with options like ‘cycling and other’ (which will include cycle hire and walking), ‘fastest by public transport and ‘Bus only’, with the option to amend your journey details, look at services later or earlier in the day and even find nearby taxi ranks.

History of Primorsky Krai

The first people settled in the region more than 30 thousand years ago. According to ancient legends, the coastal line was densely inhabited. In the Middle Ages, there were three empires on the territory of Primorye, which successively replaced each other: Bohai (698-926), Jin (1115-1234), Eastern Xia (1215-1233).

In the early 13th century, the territory of East Asia suffered the Mongol invasion. This led to the fall of the empire of Jin, but some provinces in the east preserved independence and formed an independent state known as Eastern Xia. In 1233, after another invasion this state ceased to exist too.

After that, the region was in ruins and attracted people persecuted in surrounding countries (bandits, adventurers, political dissidents). The first documented Russian presence in the region dates back to the summer of 1655, when the northern Primorye was visited by Russian Cossacks under the command of Onuphrius Stepanov.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Russian Empire began to strengthen its position in the north-west coast of the Pacific Ocean. In 1856, Primorskaya oblast was formed from the coastal parts of Eastern Siberia and Kamchatka. The territory of present Primorye was incorporated into the Russian state on the basis of Aigun (1858) and Beijing (1860) peace treaties that legalized the border between Russia and China.

More historical facts…

Since then, the southern part of Primorye took its current shape. In 1860, Vladivostok was founded as a military post. Russian migration in the region began. In 1899, the Oriental Institute was opened in Vladivostok - the first higher educational institution in Eastern Siberia and the Far East, and one of the oldest in East Asia.

Further strengthening of Russian positions in the Far East was limited by the small size of the Russian population and remoteness from populated parts of the empire. Regular communication between St. Petersburg and Vladivostok was established after the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1903.

From 1861 to 1917, about 250,000 peasants arrived in Primorye and founded 342 settlements. In 1917, the population of Primorye amounted to 307,000 people. By the mid-1920s, the local population reached 600,000 people. In the 1930s, forced industrialization and collectivization began which led to another wave of migration. The migration was both voluntary and forced (prisoners).

In 1937-1938, about 200,000 people of Korean and Chinese nationalities were forcibly deported from the region. Until the end of the 1980s, as a result of ethnic deportations, the Chinese and Koreans disappeared from the national composition of the population of Primorye.

In the summer of 1938, on the southern boundary of Primorye, in the area of Lake Khasan, there were military clashes between Manchukuo (a puppet state under Japanese control) and the Soviet Union. After two weeks of fighting, the USSR was able to repel the aggression. On October 20, 1938, Primorsky Krai with the capital in Vladivostok was formed.

After the end of the Second World War, Primorsky Krai continued to develop as a major industrial and agricultural region of the Far East also specializing in the extraction of natural resources. Rail and sea transport played a significant role in the local economy. Migration from the European part of Russia and Siberia continued, which led to an increase of population of the region from 1,381,000 people in 1959 to 1,978,000 in 1979.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region’s economy went into decline, reverse migration in the European part of Russia began. At the beginning of the 21st century, the social and economic situation in Primorsky Krai improved.

Primorsky Krai - Features

Primorsky Krai is located in the south of the Far East, in the south-eastern part of the Russian Federation. It is bordered by Khabarovsk Krai in the north, China in the west, North Korea in the south-west, and is washed by the Japan Sea in the south and east. The largest cities are Vladivostok (601,300), Ussuriysk (172,000), Nakhodka (140,200), Artyom (104,500).

The maximum length of Primorsky Krai (from the mouth of the Tumannaya River to the source of the Samarga River) is about 900 km, the maximum width (from the valley of the Ussuri River to the coast of the Sea of Japan) - about 280 km. The highest peak is Mount Anik (1,933 meters) located in the north-easton of the region, near the border with Khabarovsk krai.

The climate of Primorye is temperate monsoon. Winters are dry and cold with sunny weather; springs are long, cool, with frequent changes of temperature; summers are warm and humid; autumns as a rule are warm and dry.

The main peculiarity - lots of precipitation and fog in summer. Summer is the period of typhoons. The average temperature in July is about plus 17-21 degrees Celsius, in January - minus 8-23 degrees Celsius.

Primorsky Krai - Economy

A number of large and unique deposits of various minerals have been discovered in Primorye. This region has the most powerful mining industry in the Far East of Russia. There are about 100 coal deposits (2.4 billion tons), 30 deposits of tin, 15 deposits of complex ores containing zinc, lead, copper, and silver. Gold deposits are located both in the south of the region and in the north.

The largest in Russia deposit of boron is located near the town of Dalnegorsk. Several phosphorite deposits are discovered on the shelf of the Sea of Japan. There are also several small oil fields, large deposits of germanium. Mountain rivers have significant hydropower potential. Diverse forests cover about 80% of the territory.

Primorsky Krai is the most developed region in the Russian Far East due to its favorable geographic location and abundance of various natural resources. The local economy is based on such industries as mining, timber, fisheries, trade, shipbuilding and repairing.

Primorye has a relatively well-developed transportation network. The main traffic artery is the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Due to its proximity to Japan and the Republic of Korea (imports of relatively cheap used cars), Primorsky Krai occupies the first place in Russia in the number of vehicles in the population.

The seaports of Primorsky Krai play an important role in the economy of Russia. The largest container terminals in the Russian Far East are located here. Regional and international air flights are carried out from Vladivostok International Airport.

Attractions of Primorsky Krai

Primorsky Krai is known for its rich flora and fauna, the variety of landscapes, the warm sea in the south, springs with healing water. All this creates favorable conditions for tourism development.

In Primorye, there are more than 500 unique natural sites (lakes, waterfalls, ancient extinct volcanoes, caves, bays). There are six nature reserves and three national parks:

• Far East Marine Reserve in the Gulf of Peter the Great,
• “Kedrovaya Pad” Reserve,
• Lazovsky Reserve,
• Sikhote-Alin Reserve included in the UNESCO World Heritage List,
• Ussuri Nature Reserve,
• Khanka Reserve,
• “The Call of the Tiger”,
• “Udege Legend”,
• “The Land of the Leopard”.

The following places of interest are also noteworthy:

• The Rope Park in Andreevka - a sports-tourist trail that includes elements of sports tourism and mountaineering,
• Shanduyskie lakes - mountain lakes located in the north of Primorye,
• “Black Sand” beach located near the village of Zarubino in Aleut Bay - an interesting beach with volcanic black sand, which is considered to be curative,
• The lighthouse on the southern tip of Gamov Peninsula. Gamov Peninsula is the pearl of Primorye and the Far East.
