London's transport system is many things, and it is generally quite good, but one thing it is not, is cheap.

Stuart you have to realise that most of the country envies the cheap London public transport.It's a lot more expensive out in the sticks and a damn sight more efficient than many of us experience who live elsewhere.
Our last bus from the nearby town leaves at 8.40 pm which is an absolute swine when you consider the number of people working late or at night jobs in Portsmouth who use the Portsmouth ferry which is the quickest route into Gosport.Trouble is you then either have to find a lift,or ride a bike/motorbike(which negates the point of public transport) or take a taxi to get home.The last time I bothered it was nearly £3 for a 4 mile trip by bus plus the ferry fare.A taxi is of course double that.No train service here once you leave Portsmouth and no underground at all.
No I think Londoners should be pleased to have one of the best city transport systems in the world
