I am talking about British Transport, Trains, Tubes, Buses

But we are just facing a very populated means of transportation, British Transport.

You are living in London."let's say", and it is 5pm and you are ready to go home, so you walk to your local Tube station, "let's say", Oxford Circus and suddenly, there is a Swarm of people of all nationalities, all wanting to get somewhere and even though there is the Victoria, Bakerloo and Central Lines, it is going to be so busy, you won't believe it.

As you eventually get to the platform, it is packed solid with people.

The Tube Train arrives and the people on the train, who wish to get off, have to fight there way through this mass crowd and once they are off the train, everyone tries to get on the train.

Eventually, you get on there and it is packed solid. You find yourself being crushed up against four people, it is a horrible experience and there is no way you can move to anywhere.

As you arrive at the next station, there are passengers who wish to get off and they have to fight their way through the crowd on the Tube Train and if they don't get up out of their seat quick enough, it is a mad panic and a fight for freedom, just to get out of the train.

Once you get onto that platform, you are still fighting to get past people and it is a big crowd of people, all walking towards the big escalator, everything is moving, but it is a packed out situation.

Eventually, you get out the station and you can breathe again


Now, that was London and the Tubes...


But what about British Rail, well that can be the same and the gaps between stations are much longer and I have been in that situation, standing up in a packed Train for half an hour. Not much fun, I can tell you...


Then there is the Buses.. It is pretty much the same, especially in London and then there is the slow moving traffic and the deisel fumes everywhere and being crushed amongst the general public.

1) Well, is this acceptable to you?

2) What is the real answer? A better Transport system. More Trains, Tubes, Buses perhaps?

3) Are you sick to death of this and hate it so much, that you would rather walk or get a Bicycle?

4) Do you hate/like being so close to complete strangers and being almost crushed like that?
