The transportation in London
Metro London, The Underground, or as it is popularly known, The Tube, consists of 12 routes with nearly 300 stations, lines called by a name and a color determined that facilitates their identification.
In general we can say that the London Underground is very clean, is safe (at the last minute not so much as the rest of the day) and is open daily from 5:30 in the morning until midnight. With regard to the signs, saying that the London Underground is perfectly indicated, colors and usually help the 2 platforms of each line for the different senses are side by side, being in every one of them clearly and repeatedly stations by which the train will pass, making it difficult to make mistakes. The equivocation on the contrary may come in certain seasons in which the same platform spend two different subway lines, in which case we must look at the screens with bright banners which will be detailed in the fate of the first two trains that pass by station. There are also lines that split into two, so the same time we must look at the screens to ensure the smooth take meter (read may seem complicated but once there everything is simple because the indications are excellent).
The comforts of London Underground ... comfort of wagons is remarkable, is that
comfort of their seats (not to call them sofas) is enormous, nothing to do with other major European cities, and at stations is rare stretches of having to climb stairs on foot, and that there are really short. Insist even at the risk of being heavy in the subway signalling perfect, nothing to do with the chaos of other meters as the Paris metro, and is showing signs that the lines are many and are always visible, and both platforms as inside the carriages posters with the seasons of the subway line and plans are notable for their abundance, so it becomes complicated mistake.
London and its suburbs are divided into 6 zones, and depending on what area we are moving and where the price of the ticket will be either, although almost all tourist attractions in London fall in zone 1.
In London almost everything is different, and certain elements of everyday life in London have become symbols of the city, examples of this are the mailbox, telephone booths red, London taxis and buses in London.
One of the things that needs to be done to reach London is climb on a bus "imperial", ie the typical double-decker bus in London, not only because climb, but because if we choose a line downtown is an excellent way to see London, especially if we sit in the front row of the top floor of the bus. It must be said to get on a bus in London is unusual from the outset, and it is as though pedestrians relocate a few days in London and we assumed that was travelling on the left (many days we have for our brain gets used) it's really just strange board a bus that has doors on the opposite side of normal.
One of the things you need to know before boarding the bus, it is not possible to buy the ticket inside the bus, but before we buy it in some machines at the stops, and once bought the ticket, always respecting the climb tail, and waiting for our turn to teach our ticket to the driver and that is if we do not do well we will have a good anger by the driver and probably the rest of passengers. That's because the British love to queue for everything and make a very methodical and orderly, bringing this to the maximum extreme, so it never needed to ask "who is the last", because the tail is perfectly formed and there will be no doubt.
At night there are quite a few lines to say that evening that are widely used mainly on weekends, being the favourite means of transport for Londoners to return home after a night of pub in pub.
