Tips for passengers

The 94 is well placed for West End shopping, so expect busy pavements around Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus and allow extra time there. Because buses come about every 10 minutes on weekdays, you rarely need the timetable, although weekend gaps of about 13 minutes are longer. At the Acton end, check the stop name, since Turnham Green and Acton Green are separate stops on the list.
