From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Extra bus services are to be launched in London to complement the new all-night Tubes starting later this year, although some existing buses will not run at weekends, it has been proposed.
Transport for London is consulting on 20 new bus services and one extended service to help passengers travel to and from underground stations, when the all-night Tubes start on September 12.
TfL added it might not be necessary to run as many extra weekend buses on 17 out of 117 night bus routes because of the new Tubes.
These services would continue to operate at weekday levels.
TfL said its proposals followed a review of its night bus services, which looked at demand for new links on weekend nights from suburban stations for passengers travelling to and from central London on the new Tube.
