Sing to this: London is falling down

Not the bridge's falling, but the entire city, honestly. Public transport has become insufferable in London. Granted, its the Lord Mayor celebration weekend here (but there's frankly nothing to see, esp for someone who came from a city of constant protest/parade), but if London's subway, bus, etc., can't even survived a busy weekend, the whole system will certainly fall to its knee during the Olympics.

London's subway is old, lines are always closed for renovation (how long have they been working on the Jubilee line?!), the roads are narrow, the police seems ill-equipped for any major events, and there's not enough taxis around (even when you want to pay for what I believe is the world's most expensive taxi, even surpassing Tokyo). If anyone's thinking about London Olympics, think twice...in fact, avoid London for the whole of 2012...
