Rubbish. Over 1 billion passenger journeys are made on London Underground
every year, and nearly twice that number on the buses.


At speeds, and comfort levels, that would be entirely unacceptable in
Atlanta, Berlin, New York, or Paris.

You need to get out more.


People do business in Baton Rouge with almost nonexistent public
transport, and don't get me started on lake Charles.
