Transport (London) Act 1969

The Transport (London) Act 1969 (c. 35) was an act of the United Kingdom Parliament concerning the administration of public transport in London.

Provisions The act abolished the London Transport Board.

Its main functions were transferred to a new London Transport Executive under the auspices of the Greater London Council.

The Country Bus and Coach Department was separated as London Country Bus Services, a subsidiary of the National Bus Company.

Further developments The act was amended after negotiations with the Greater London Council to enable the transfer of power. The transfer occurred in January 1970.

The Greater London Council attempted to significantly reduce fares under the act, but this was challenged in court.
