What is the best mode of public transport in London?
71"The Tube" Or The London Underground is the best mode of public transport available in London
London is known for one of the best public transport system in the world.
There are many modes of public transport in London "the city of glamour and business" but the best public transport in London is "The Tube" according to me.
The London Underground, or ‘the Tube' is, universally known to Londoners and is the easiest, affordable, and quickest mode of moving around in London.
With around 275 stations, 63 in central London, conveniently pointed across the city, you will be never far away from a Tube station. Most of the people in London use the Tube for moving around.
London has 12 Tube lines and 274 stations. The Tube trains run on all the lines between 5.30 a.m. and 00:30 a.m. from Monday to Saturday and between 7.30 a.m. and 23.30 p.m. on Sundays, and the most important thing, it is every few minutes. All London Underground trains are a no smoking place. The London underground is highly recommended for tourists, visiting London from other countries around the world.
I love London Underground for its convenience and quickness and being the best mode of public transport in London

Thanks Mr. Torpey for the appreciation. Likewise in London and other big cities, Metro is getting popular for its convinience in Delhi, India. I think it would become the best public transport in Delhi also, but as compared to "The tube" it is not totally underground but then also it helps a lot.
As an occasional tourist in London, I comfirm your point of view. Not only the Tube covers most of London (till Heathrow... how good is that ?) but compared to other metro systems, it has the big advantage of being clean. My last experiences with the Paris metro for example lead me to one conlusion: it stinks !!
I see only two drawbacks to the Tube: it's relatively warm donw there, and no all stations are well equipped for prams (young father speaking).
Yes, as a londoner i love the tube but it can a bit hot at times and overcrowed at most times but is a wonderfull weay to get from a to z;)
Yes I agree with you compu-smart that it gets hot at time and overcrowded also but this is because it is under the ground.

I am very happy, soni2006, to see this hub on London's tube system. I am a big fan of public transportation where I live in the United States. I grew up in Yonkers, N.Y., where we had a network of trolley cars unti the early 1950's. There was no better form of transportation for New Yorkers. New York City used to have some trolleys, too, as well as the subways its still has. Unfortunately, New York unwisely continues to increase fares by incredible numbers. Fares were a nickel when I was a kid, and I'm told they're up to about $3 now. It's a formula for extinction. I've mentioned the trolleys a few of my hubs, and I hope you will consider writing further on this subject. Public transportation is the way of the future.
