About the activity
We know that your schools and nurseries are creative places and your pupils, staff and communities are bursting with ideas of how to get young London moving!
This is your chance to share your school’s own public transport activities, different to anything else already listed on the TfL Travel for Life site.
Work with your Explorers Ambassadors or Pioneers Ambassadors, your school travel working group and colleagues to make a real difference to your school community's use of public transport.
Did you invite a local bus or train driver to come in to speak with your pupils about their job? Could your pupils work together to organise a public-transport themed lunch-time quiz?
