London Buses route 394

London Buses route 394 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, United Kingdom. The service is currently contracted to CT Plus.

History
The 394, originally called the Shoreditch Hoppa, was started in September 2001 under a London Service Permit. It was developed to address the lack of public transport running east to west across Shoreditch and funded as part of the New Deal for Communities (NDC). The NDC purchased two custom-made buses and appointed Hackney Community Transport (later renamed HCT Group) to run the service following a competitive tendering process. The service started in September 2001. Passenger numbers rose rapidly to 2,200 per week and Transport for London agreed to integrate the Shoreditch Hoppa in to the mainstream London Buses network, with a route number and inclusion on network maps.

Transport for London awarded HCT Group subsidiary CT Plus a contract to run route 394 in March 2003.
