	London River Services - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		London River Services is an arm of Transport for London, which manages public transport on the River Thames in London.
		Some of these services are targeted at commuters, whilst others provide a tourist oriented cruise service.
		Unlike the underground and bus networks, the river services do not accept Travelcards or Oyster cards and operators charge their own (usually rather higher) fares.

		London River Services (LRS) created a new route to provide a riverboat link between Millbank and the Millennium piers, effectively connecting both the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern by a convenient and tourist-friendly method of transportation.

		The Cross River Partnership, an alliance of local authorities from both sides of the river and key economic and political players, is using a program of pier renovation and building to further create conditions that will improve the river services and close gaps between north and south of the city.
