For those of you who have been to London, does the tube annoy you or what!!

One day the tube will flood......hopefully during rush hour....pesky Southerner's :D

Paris Metro is good, but I must say a tad dirty

[keithAngel]

On a rare visit to London last year I was amused to see the amount of body contact necessary to get into a space that from my perspective didn't exist

I ended up catching a tube in the opposite direction three stops and then transferred to a seat.:xxviolent

It's full of French, how can it be brilliant......now if it caved in I'd agree :D

[bornatbirth]

have none off u used the MRT in singapore?

the london underground should hang its head in shame!
but what annoyed me was when to many staff went sick to keep a station open and like a moron im sat there as the train goes past my stop to the next stop,as its already gone 11pm at night u still gotta get home just great!!

[Piamed]

I think the London Tube system is the worst I've seen and certainly the only one without AC. Singapore and Beijing ones are great.

[chino]

i like the subway in Seoul, Japan (subways all over) Singapore not so much Beijing... Well London's is ok unless you bag does not turn up and you have to go in shorts and flip flops when its snowing!.. everyone is looking :(

The Hong Kong MTR is superb, I will give you an example of the customer care/service, a couple of years back the island line experienced a five minute average delay in trains coming through for over 4 hours in a morning period. that evening on the local news the Chief Executive was on apologising to the people of Hong Kong for such a drastic failure!!!!! one day and only an average of five minutes late!!!!!!!, if that was most cities you might get a junior PR person or a couple of lnes in the next days paper. To be fair it is subsidised and Hong Kongs infrasrucure and geography means it is by far the easiest option to use to get o work.

Mostly designed just for standing though, not much good for a cripple in rush hour. :angry:

[bornatbirth]

Agree 100%. Hong Kong has a brilliant public transport system - when you arrive at the airport, the airport express is waiting for you to whisk you off to your chosen destination, you can literally go from landing to your hotel room within 45 minutes.

Me for one. :NoNo:
