I don't really understand why London needs a tube system.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

After all, the useful area of the city is all perfectly walkable. From Victoria to Fleet St, Borough Market to Selfridges is delightfully compact. The bits around this are just dreary suburbs, really, and of no use to anyone.

and full of human filth, but if you weigh up the amount of empty journeys they do they are actually more environmentally unfriendly than cars.

[Pokster]

that low life get busses so we should ban them

It's like a train AND a bus.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

driving, I could see everything and it was fúcking ace. "Toot toot!" I cried.

[Pokster]

you lot need public transport as most of you seem to struggle to pass your driving tests

[Luis Anaconda]

We have nice high speed trains here

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I TOLD you something dreadful would happen.

of the city.

Many suburbs exist soley from the tube.

The roads are not wide enough in London for other types of transport imo.

[Ashberto]

Where will you find a window big enough?

Every **** trying to get home as quickly as possible at a pace that is as slow as possible

This happens all the time in New York.

There are plenty of times I've seen a broken down car or bus or something causing a big mess and there police are nowhere to be seen to get the traffic started again.

They also need a backup plan for these tube strikes. Close certain roads only to buses imo and run replacement buses in the central london area.

A dodgy rep for fondling the ladies and you're a cert for London Mayor

to replace tube workers with half price Eastern European types.

Who will sign contracts that will not allow them to strike.

[Peter]

[Pat Vegas]

London streets are a bit nutty imo.

Easy when you have a North American city. Grid system then slap the train in later.

Free travel around the city and all that.

Could be a little overcrowded on occasion.

[barrybueno]

[Berni]

realising that they could walk their short journey almost as quickly and certainly more pleasantly never ceases to amaze.

Went 3 stops and ended up about 3 shops away :-(
