Must. Be. Angry on behalf of my fellow students.

Must. Not. Mock because I have my student card.

By the way, London Transport is stupidly expensive. I live in zone 4, and a monthly travelcard would cost me about £80. An adult card in £120.That's a saving of £40 a month on the student card - $80

what is the world coming to?? i thought Boston had it bad at $59/month to ride the T, or $2/ride without a pass. it sucks being an adult. my student discount expired recently, and i really got used to paying $29.50.

*Sobs* Any idea WHY it's so expensive though? I mean, if no one used it that might make sense, but isn't it very popular? It seems like it should be cheaper, especially to encourage people to use them instead of cars, etc.

[innerbrat]

Because, sadly, it's bigger and better than all the other subway systems. It's also really old and requires a lot of maintenance, and drivers andotherworkers have negotiated high wages by simply having power over the very infrastructure of the city.

It's still cheaper than the £8 congestion charge.

True and fair enough. It's okay if I still complain about it though, right?

[innerbrat]

Yes. But Londoners will get defensive if someone else complains. That's what we do.

I love your icon so very much, and am now humming that tune again.
