Our new Mobile Monday series explores the world of mobile travel apps and uncovers the best mobile ITS services for travel and transport.   

As a tribute to the historic weekend of tennis in Wimbledon, we start with a link to a wide range of services, apps and websites provided by Transport for London (tfl).

The apps give London travellers a huge amount of information such as live bus arrival times and free mobile travel alerts, They help you plan ahead by sending notifications and giving details of planned works/closeures, and finally they help you get home safely at the end of the day with info about night-buses and safe taxis.  

So, whether you live in London, or you’re planning to visit for work or holidays – these apps will help you avoid any travel disasters.
