I have travelled on metro systems all over the world and none, absolutely none, is anywhere near as utterly hopeless as London Transport.
It is almost beyond belief that any transport system can be run so badly. And there is no shame. They just don't care. Customers are treated with contempt.
Signals are forever failing. Why? They don't fail every day on other systems. If signals failed at Heathrow airport people would die and the airport would close.
London Transport staff are overpaid (£40k to drive a train for 4 and a half days a week!) and no one has any interest in providing a proper service or looking after the customers who pay them. What other organisation in the world performs so badly that they need to announce incessantly over their public address systems every time they are working as they should do?
I think most passengers would put up with a few months without LT if it meant that they could all be sacked and drivers replaced with automatic driverless trains which work perfectly well on the DLR.
We should not put up with it. LT is expensive, inefficient incompetently run and a disgrace. It is a safe bet that they are already planning strikes during the Olympics because they know they can and they know we will all pay up.
