Improve London Underground

People from all walks of life take the underground. We have here the students, tourists and workers in investment companies like investools. Anyone who has been taking the subway for a long time could easily tell the difference and say what needs to be fixed, repaired and changed.

When ever I use the underground I can think of dozens of ways to improve it. I mean come on, it’s not state of the art and generally looks dirty. Yet we see an increase in fare prices almost every 6 months! Ever since Mrs Thatcher decided to privatise and sell off all key public recources, we now have to deal with strikes, poor maintenance and everything else that comes with it. I guess there has been many efforts to improve the London Underground, but all the attempts have faded over a time period. Also what is up with the term “signal Failure”, I’ve been using the London Underground for over 9 years now and that excuse is just lousy! I mean come on, 9 years and you still haven’t fixed a stupid signal failure.

There are many things the London Underground can do to improve it’s service. The most important things are:

Reliable trains
Air conditioning (China has it already)
Clean up the tacky tunnels
Flickering of lights that go on and off everytime you pass through a tunnel
More staff for disabled passengers (Last time I had to help a wheelchair user, I don’t mind but when I looked around there wasn’t single staff member)
A toliet at every station
Stop charging for using the toilets at Paddington! Costs 20p to use and I bought a ticket for £97!

Small changes like these can increase the use of public transport. The London Underground bosses need to clean up their act!
