What about people who don't use the Tube?

They benefit from being able to drive from place to place without
queuing for a hundred years, because thousands of people who'd
otherwise be driving are getting the Tube instead.

They also benefit from people who work in shops, offices and factories
supplying them with the goods and services they want and need being
able to get to work, instead of not.

If the Tube were closed down tomorrow, which seems to be your preferred
remedy to the problem, it would make your life substantially worse.
