I love not having to drive anywhere. You don't have to worry about who is driving, the annoying drivers on the road, or if you can have that second glass of wine. I don't have to worry about how visitors will get around either.
All of this is ruined when the tube strikes.
Then you are left slightly helpless with either an hour walk (in the rain) to work or an hour taxi ride that will cost a fortune if you are lucky enough (and get up at the crack of dawn) to get one.
The positives? We have signs and news that let us know EXACTLY when then tube strike will be (And end!) Pretty orderly huh?
The negatives? We have signs and news that let us know EXACTLY when then tube strike will be. Then you can dread these days for a whole 2 weeks or so before the strike.
If anything, it makes me appreciate the public transit system and simultaneously hate it. Remind me of this next time I complain about the heat on the train in rush hours ;)
