  Text	LONDON TRANSPORT Londoners are familiar with their London Transport buses, trains, stations and roadside shelters. They take it for granted that stations are well swept and vehicles kept clean. They know their own bus service intimately; they can find their way by Tube with speed and sureness; they take the escalator in their stride. The friendly word with the conductor or the ticket collector is a habit. On architecture, on engineering and on posters every Londoner can exercise his talents for friendly criticism. The bullseye symbol has become the accepted signature of London Transport. It stands for a service of which Londoners are rightly proud.
