00:00 I'm really pleased because today's a historic day. Our first Superloop bus was launched in July and
00:04 today the full orbital of London is done. 138 kilometres. We've worked out that is 6 million
00:11 new bus kilometres but also when you compare the Superloop versus the normal network there's been
00:15 a growth of more than 15 percent which shows how popular the Superloop is. What we do know
00:22 historically out of London hasn't had as good a public transport as it should do. That's why
00:27 it's important we invest in public transport out to London. The Elizabeth line helps out to London,
00:31 the Barker Riverside extension helps out to London. The Superloop will really help out to London. So
00:36 we've got 6 million new bus kilometres there. On top of that we've got a million new bus
00:42 kilometres as a result of our policies and on top of that 600,000 new bus kilometres in Croydon and
00:48 Sutton. The TfL business plan projects a four percent increase in growth in TfL. We've got
00:54 got the budgeting for that and I want a lot of that growth to be now to London.
