'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: London has probaby the most famous subway system in the world. It is debatably the largest and certainly the oldest subway system in the world. Being so ancient compared to North American mass transit system that I am used to traveling on, I looked upon traveling on the tube as a tourist attraction in itself. Gazing upon a map of the Tube can be intimedating. The Tube stretches and twists around the city in every direction. There are twelve lines, each represented by a different colour on the map. The Tube is broken up into zones. How much you pay in terms of fare is decided upon how many zones you will be travelling through. Tickets for the Tube must be bought before hand at a ticket machine or you will be fined for traveling without one. As of 2004 it is ?2.00 to travel within Zone One, the city centre, which seems rather expensive to me. It was just a pound or so when I visited. I recommend that you buy for ?15.00 a carnet of 10 tickets which you can only use in Zone One. Inspite of my initial excitement of riding the Tube, I gradually found the Tube to rather dirty, smelly and certainly in need of restoration and repair. I understand that this has been going full throttle in recent years.
