A river runs through it. Making the most of your Thames.

A series of initiatives from Transport for London are designed to get us all using our river more – and enjoying it.

These initiatives have been developed by the Mayor’s River Concordat, a partnership of organisations working together to ensure that river passenger services reach their full potential.

● New ‘River Bus’ and ‘River Tours’ brands will help passengers distinguish between the available commuter and leisure services.

● A new ‘tube-style’ River Bus map, available online and incorporated in a new River Bus Guide leaflet. A River Tours map will be published this summer.

● Improved signage will include an illuminated flag displayed at piers as well as direction signs from nearby streets and stations.

● Real time information will be available at the piers, online and via an iPhone application.

● An updated website at www.tfl.gov.uk/river will make it far easier to plan journeys.

● A marketing campaign will encourage those working or living close to piers to make more journeys by water.

● Special offers will also be available on Thames Clippers and Thames River Taxi services. For full details, click here.
