On foot or on a bike one is in control of one's destiny even in the London tube.

One can get out by just standing next to the wall as the trains come every 90 sec, which is unbelievable really.

Hordes of people!!! Oh the claustrophobia!!!

Seriously, though. I'd rather be stuck in car traffic in a car with a comfy reserved seat, climate control, and the radio playing what I want to listen to than stand up on public transport like a vertical sardine. Been there and done that, as they say.

At least the heavy bicycling traffic would be much more enjoyable than standing in a subway car. Out in the fresh air and in control of my own vehicle as it were.
