Look, the Tube is overpriced, crowded, and smells like a damp sock from 1996. But it’s also the only way to get from Shoreditch to Soho without selling a limb for an Uber. You’ll grumble, tap your Oyster, and think “this is fine.” And honestly? It is. Most of the time.
So next time you hear that “mind the gap” announcement, just remember: you’re not paying for the ride. You’re paying for a story. And maybe a seat, if you’re lucky.
