The fact that its apparently the most expensive metro in the world,
with from my own experience some of the worst performance (over 5
minute waits for trains in central london in the rush hour - farcical)
I think says it all.

You're evidence that "says it all" is hardly very precise. (a) You've
an "apparent" claim regarding the most expensive metro, yet don't back
it up with evidence. (b) Whilst 5+ minutes wait in central London at
rush hour is far from ideal it's also far from the norm - the
performance data would not back up your claim that it's "farcical".

Your case is far from proven.
