2012 Games challenges
On the Tube, 62 million journeys during the Olympics – 35% above normal. A record 4.57 million tube journeys on 7 August
On DLR, 6.9 million journeys during the Olympics – double normal levels
On London Overground, 6.3 million journeys during the Olympics – up 54% on 2011
86 million passengers on London Buses during the Games
Barclays Cycle Hire saw record usage - 1 million hires in a month (July)
An additional 1.03m walking & cycling trips per day during the Games compared to an average day in 2011
Breaking Records
Our research shows that:
Approximately 84% of freight operators and 89% of businesses were aware of the information available to help them plan for the Games
Only 20% of freight operators who made deliveries/collections during the Games had issues
Night time deliveries increased during the Games, with 17% of freight operators and 12% of businesses introducing or increasing our of hours deliveries
35% of London workers changed their travel behaviour on any given day
More than a fifth of employees (22%) worked from home and 28% changed the time they left for work
Businesses delivered a balanced blend of 4 R’s (Re-time, Re-route, Reduce, Re-mode)
Achievement
The ‘burning platform’ of The Games was the catalyst to successful engagement with London businesses
Our challenge: why should business continue to work in partnership with TfL in the future?
Increased demand 12% or 940,000 more people using the network by 2031
30% increase in freight deliveries in next 20 years
Transformation of the network will create ongoing challenges
Broad range of long term benefits for business (e.g. reduced costs and absenteeism)
Working with TfL to address these challenges will help to reduce the impact on London’s economy
