London is a city that never sleeps. Indeed, the main bus lines run 24 hours a day. In addition to the 24-hour lines, many daytime lines provide a night service, indicated by the letter "N" (for example, bus 15 becomes N15). In contrast to 24-hour lines, the "N" lines may undergo some route changes from those used during the day. The frequency of night buses in London varies according to the day of the week (see London bus map). Waiting time during the night on Fridays and Saturdays is very short: it varies between 10 and 15 minutes.
