August 29, 2006 - According to a recent survey, tourists have voted London, UK to have the best transit system in the World! Others in the top 5 include New York City, Hong Kong, Paris, and Washington D.C.
Comment: well not a huge surprise there - Having been on four of the five listed (never been on D.C.'s transit system), London's tube system is efficient and gets you where you need to go without delay and incident (except for the random weekend shutdown). Sure it could improve, but compare to a lot of other systems out there (think Toronto) it's still magnificent. What's kinda neat is that these cities, particularly NYC and London, are defined by their transit system. As in their subways are kinda an attraction in itself. I mean, who wouldn't want to at least ride the Tube at least once in London, or take the subway across Manhattan? It's part of their city's icon.
