I don't work in Central London, but have done in the past, so I know what it's like.

Put simply, the tube is the *only* option available to a lot of people when they go to work.

Take, for example, my old journey. I used to work in Baker Street. I live near Bromley. Believe me when I say there is no way to travel from Bromley to Baker Street in an hour or less (at Rush Hour) without using the Tube.

A lot of London has the same problem. The Tube drivers know this, and take advantage, which is precisely why they should not be allowed to strike.
