Yes, it's excellent. They have a selection of trams, buses and tube trains,
as well as galleries devoted to the building of the tube and cut-and-cover
Underground lines, the design of tram tracks and junctions, signalling,
lifts/escalators etc. THey even have a steam loco that operated the
Quainton-Brill tramway

Not sure what the entrance fee is. Some museums are free nowadays, but I'm
not sure whether the LT museum is one of them.

Allow a couple of hours to see everything.

I certainly enjoyed my visit there. Without wishing to be lazy and merely
post links, you can see more information on the collections and specific
exhibitions on the website-- http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/ with
http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/index.html particularly relevant to
your question.

http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/visiting/index.html should help. Including
http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/visiting/admission.html for details of admission
charges.

Yes, it's a great museum: check it out for yourself at:-

Also, The Depot at Acton Town, which is only open periodically, is excellent:
details on above website.

It's FANTASTIC but it is not free. However if you join the organization it
comes with free admission for the year. One of my favourite museums
anywhere.

I wholeheartedly recommend it, especially if you have children. It's one of
the better museums I've been to for interactive displays. The resource
center upstairs was especially helpful in tracking down a bit of arcane
transit trivia I was seeking.
