So how would you rate the public transport in London area? Is it pretty smooth, a bit of a pain, or really awful? Here in the Seattle area it ranges between a pain and awful (it is awful in Tacoma!) It's really quite an embarrassment for Seattle, which is supposed to be a world-class city but the traffic jams are stifling.  Our more humble neighbor to the south, Portland OR, has a wonderful mass transit system that's been in place for years now. We are woefully behind but are starting to develop light rail (it's just held up by political squabbling all the time!)
