I, like many others in my community, face a daily struggle with public transportation. The lack of a direct bus route from Rainham to Ilford, Seven Kings and Goodmayes or even Chadwell Heath has made our commute to work unnecessarily complicated and frustrating. We are forced to take multiple buses, often waiting for long periods between connections which adds unnecessary stress and time to our journeys.

Extend the 364 bus route that currently only goes from Ilford Hainault Street to Dagenham Ballards Road.

Extend the 364 bus route to Rainham, Cherry Tree Lane from Ilford, Hainault Street.

The only available routes currently are those heading towards Romford, Harold Hill and Chase Cross - none of which serve those of us working in Ilford or Chadwell Heath. This situation leaves us feeling overlooked and underserved by the public transport system.

As of the latest ULEZ expansion I believe an extension of the 364 bus route would encourage more citizens of Outer London to start taking Public Transport.

According to Transport for London's own data (2019), there is a significant number of commuters travelling between these areas daily. Extending the 364 bus route would not only alleviate our commuting woes but also serve a clear demand within the community.

We urge Transport for London and relevant local authorities to consider this extension seriously. It would significantly improve connectivity across London boroughs, reduce travel times, and provide much-needed relief for hardworking commuters like myself who simply want an efficient way to get home after a long day at work.

Please sign this petition if you believe in better public transport services that cater effectively for all communities across London and for a direct bus route from Rainham Cherry Tree Lane to Ilford Station.
