I get the feeling you haven't been to London. It's a rail city...tube lines, heavy rail, the DLR, Croydon tram. To dismiss all that as "not a reliable option" is just utter nonsense.

Every second of this video felt like someone who's never been to London who heard one person complain about it and then linked up a bunch of random statistics to make their own narrative. London has an incredible public transport system - just because it has issues to be addressed doesn't make that not the case.

As a Londoner we don’t want cars, the public transport it the best! the tube is so much better :)) I love the small roads and how you can work everywhere!

This is extremely car centric. London has a brilliant public transport system.

Sorry this video lost me completely when you said London doesn't have amazing public transport, have you ever been there? Public transport is incredible in London, there are endless options to get you anywhere at all very quickly.

This video is inaccurate. Trains are reliable and people DO use buses. I've been relying on them for over 10 years. Maybe I am tolerant but I would never bad mouth the system. Going as far as saying London is terribly designed is unfair.

It's only badly designed from the position of a car driver. Since it was the first big industrial city in the world, it's layout was not designed around the car.

I've visited London many times, and what I can say with certainty, London has a great Public transport system. The buses are nowhere nearly as horrondeous as you described and both the Tube and the Buses are efficient and clean. Yes they may be a little price compared to other European cities like Berlin, etc. But everything in London is expensive, and most people do use them. As much as I like your videos, I think the point on public transport isn't extremely accurate.

Londoner here: A lot of errors with this video. The Elizabeth Line firstly is does not travel up to Enfield and go back down, nor does it loop back at Woolwich. Buses are also used a lot here and are now getting busier due to the lack of cross city transport, not “no one” uses them. Public transport is “expensive” because London’s public transport is not subsided by the government and relies on the millions including me that uses it daily.

I’m a foreigner that’s been living in London for a few months now, and I want to assure all the Londoners here that this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

1) London wasn't "designed" as such, more like mangled. It's got streets and structures that are older than many countries.

Sorry but as a Londoner I think this isn't 100% right.

London’s buses: people aren’t really using them.

I'm not gonna argue that London has better transit than Tokyo. That would be just silly. However, I very much dispute that it's a "terrible" system. A terrible system would be commuter rail lines in North America for example, with 4 trains in the morning going downtown, and 4 trains in the evening going back to the suburbs, and nothing else. That's my bar for a bad system.

"public transport is not a reliable option" it's literally one of the best in the world

London has an incredible, frequent & extremely reliable (by comparison) underground system, if the problem is taxis then the problem is the amount of wealth in this city, I know so many people that would get an uber from one part to another because a taxi is affordable to them on high salaries and they wouldn't choose the tube, even now, when it is very comfortable with low COVID ridership, always a seat, and free wifi. Londoners don't know how lucky they have it when they complain about an 8 min delay.

I found this video very interesting because I’ve been living in London for the past 6 years and I have the total opposite perception (and I come from Sweden so it’s not like I am used to traffic like Mumbai). I always described London as an “organised chaos” because it looks like chaos but it just flows.

I must admit, this is the most inaccurate representation of London out there, London Underground is one of the most insanely interconnected metro services (and oldest) in the world.
