TfL pilot shows the way

Tube travellers take at least 18 different routes to get from King’s Cross St Pancras to Waterloo, according to new analysis by Transport for London (TfL). In a four-week trial covering 54 stations in Zones 1-4, TfL collected 509 million pieces of de-personalised WiFi data from 5.6 million mobile devices making 42 million journeys. TfL hopes that collecting this type of data on a permanent basis will give it a better understanding of how people move through stations, enabling it to help customers with route planning; allow staff to address disruption or crowding more quickly; and priortise transport investment to improve services.
