How was your commute this morning?
I was among London commuters feeling the strain today after Tube strikes started last night in a row over pay.
My bus is filled with Tube-goers. They have iPads and talk about team building exercises. They do not belong with us bus people #tubestrike

Here’s what other Londoners had to say:
#tubestrikesRIP London. A 30mimute journey has become a 3 hour commute and im still not at my destination.

Before the tube, there were cars and before cars we had our two feet. Today’s a good opportunity to get in some mileage #tubestrikes

All the workers striking should have their pay docked let’s see them strike again after that #tubestrikes

I feel for everybody trying to get around today: #tubestrikes. But especially police and ambulance staff trying to break through gridlock 🙁

Just got off my bus early and now walking along South Bank. Actually overtook my bus by a lot. That’s how bad the traffic is. #tubestrikes

I’m that smug person that walked into work. If you can’t, quit moaning there are better causes that can do with your support #tubestrikes

So, @TfL suggests we use alternative forms of transport. Reaches for a brolly #tubestrikespic.twitter.com/4Dw9cmwi6u
