Uber Technologies Inc is planning to integrate into its app the bus and Tube timetables of Transport for London, the government body in charge of the capital's transport network, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The move would put Uber into direct competition with venture capital-backed startup Citymapper, the report said.
