London traffic and underground
The famous capital of England has so much to offer for those who are on business or on holiday. Travelling is easy if you see the city’s buses and the London Underground (the “Tube’’).
There are two main kinds of buses in London: the red double-decker and the red single-decker. There are a large number of routes in London. The main places the bus goes to are shown on the front of the bus. Some double-deckers in London have automatic doors, and you pay the driver when you go in. On the single-deckers you buy your ticket from a machine in the bus. These buses travel between the main stations and stop at fewer stops than the double-deckers.
The Underground is not only the oldest and the biggest metro system in the world; it’s also one of the most modern, running for 20 hours every day. There are more than 250 underground stations in London and the suburbs. Each Underground line has a different name and colour. This makes it easy for you to follow your route. The busiest times are between 08.00 and 09.30 and17.00to 18.30, Mondays to Fridays.
