One of the most outstanding things we heard about big cities is about the efficiency of all means of transportation. I believe you can really evaluate the level of development of a big city from this view. The tube in London is far from just an alternative to move around the city, it's an event itself. The only problem is: how complex this system is!! I felt like I was in the primary school learning the first steps about something "fussy", a big deal. But after getting lost with friends for so many times - it was part of a training, hehe - and because these situations made us laugh so much, I think I'm in love with the tube now, and I also love the double deckers and even the boats I saw on River Thames yesterday. Underground, overground, tube, cab, new words to put in practice when you visit this city. And don't forget about this tip: carry a map with you, find everything you need and enjoy whatever you may find.
Haha, I think we Londoners take the tube for granted, you'll hear us complaining about it (especially when it gets so hot and stuffy in the summer!) but it's a good system. There's a free app called Citymapper which is really good for helping you find your way around on foot or on public transport.
ReplyDeleteOh, my Gosh!! Summer is now!! hehe, so I have the chance to listen to the complaints and learn how to do it as well, hehe. Yes, I absolutely agree it´s a great system, I hope we have something similar in Brazil one day. :D
