The Telegraph: Tube strike today: Travel updates on Thursday afternoon as union calls for pay to rise with house prices - LIVE
It is only a month ago we experienced a big strike the last time.
My past entry: Dreadful strike of London tube
One of the reasons for frequent tube strike is the plan of 24 hours tube as I introduced before. The workers insist that they cannot work for night time shift without raised wage and additional employees.

National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) demanded a meeting with Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, to negotiate this issue. But Johnson declined to take a seat, blaming RMT as threatening Londoners' daily life.
Confusion in the transportation is not limited to the tube. Uber, a newly launched application for smooth taxi reservation is criticized by black cab drivers. On the other hand, Uber expressed jealousy to the black cab for its privilege.

London is a crowded city. Also, its infrastructure is somehow old-fashioned. For these reasons, trouble in transportation can easily influence citizens' life indirectly. I was involved in a dreadful traffic jam when taking a bus.

It is relieving that Londoners are tolerant to the delay of public transportation. Several options are suggested to avoid an irritable congestion.

I saw few people looked angry yesterday. They are accustomed to the crippled tube. It is understandable that they are surprised to the precise management of trains in Japan. If I were in Japan, several passengers would make a complaint with a loud voice. I am not sure we should say it is also an advantage of London.
