I think I must be living in an alternative London.

Every bustop I use has a timetable for all the routes that stop there,


Not a timetable (i.e. something that tells you what times the buses
come), just a frequency guide (i.e. something that says useful things
like "every 2-15 minutes").


Also, not terribly portable, unless you have a spanner with you.

a diagram of the routes, and usually a spider map of the routes in the
area and a map of night buses.


But no actual street map showing what actual roads the bus travels along
(and where you can change to other bus routes, and where those go).


I still reckon this could be added to the spider maps without too much
trouble.

And a variety of maps can be downloaded from the website.


The proper (quadrant) maps are now very difficult to find on the new
website.


And it *still* doesn't have the High Frequency Services map at all!
