Orbital express bus routes were proposed in 2008 by Mayor of London Boris Johnson, with further proposals by the London Assembly in 2017. The 'Superloop' concept was announced in 2023 by Johnson's successor, Sadiq Khan, consisting of renumbering and improvements to existing express bus routes and the introduction of new express bus routes.

Once complete, Superloop routes will form a long distance orbital service around London, as well as radial express services. The first service became operational on 15 July 2023. Nine of the ten routes are expected to be operational by March 2024.
