Quickmap – A REPORT FOR THE MAYOR ON INTEGRATED TRANSPORT MAPS FOR LONDON 2000

Description

Quickmap Limited, founded in 1999, produces innovative transport maps that integrate London’s buses, tube, trains and DLR into a single, user-focused system. Its hybrid graphic style blends schematic and road-map elements to highlight interchanges, frequent services, deep versus sub-surface lines and surface rail, making bus routes legible as an “overground tube” for visitors and residents. Products include pocket maps, central-area bus and tube+train maps, specialist licensed images and downloadable simplified electronic formats. Quickmap promotes future-proof internet delivery—map movies and real‑time vehicle positioning—urging data access to improve passenger information and confidence. Maps are based on original surveys checked against published services (with standard liability disclaimers) and are commercially available via bookstores, station outlets and online. The approach has public endorsement (Ken Livingstone) and aims to encourage use of alternative routes, reduce reliance on the tube, and make London travel clearer and more flexible.
