London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It's a moneysuck to the extent that I don't know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big ยฃ12-a-pint, can't fucking move for people, money laundering operation.
Just 100x better than Canadian public transport :'). We just built an LRT line in Ottawa and it's down more often than it's working. It has cost the city ridiculous amounts of money to fix it even though it's brand new
That was how I read it at first too, but I think they mean the London Metropolitan area, not the transit itself. But as an American, I feel you T_T
May not be the most popular opinion in this thread, but hell I love British people hating... stuff.
That's just as well cos we don't get up to much else. Not that we're total cynics; sometimes we're happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.
This, I got affections to that sarcasm. Besides, I feel that it is usually delivered in a delicate blend of linguistic spices that tickle my senses far beyond that french fries American English.
