Well you bloody commute on it every day then and see just how
wonderful you think it is. Yes , it'll get you there eventually. Not
much bloody good if you're late for a meeting or some other work
appointment though. Perhaps you should ask yourself if its so
wonderful how come so many people STILL drive or bike into london
despite the congestion charge.

London's transport system is IMO *just about* workable, but it is in a
lot of places embarrassing for a world-class city. Hamburg, for
example, has the kind of system - highly punctual and reliable, clean
and lots of capacity - that London should have.

The state of the track on the sub-surface lines, and the hunting
problem on the DLR are good examples of how poor it can be.
