Getting around London is hell - TfL barely works and cabs are just extortionate

I'M not being funny but... transportation. Where do we begin? London has been going through a difficult time when it comes to transportation, as has the rest of the country.

I'm not about to politicise things but we all know that strikes and endless "engineering works" have disrupted our great city to the point where it's not just inconvenient and annoying, but also ends up costing us more and can verge on dangerous for those more vulnerable to abuse like women and and the LGBTQ+ community.

As a country that already has some of the most expensive public transport in Europe, most of us also rely on it, whether it's to go to work every day or for leisure.

The fact that these disruptions are almost guaranteed every week is unacceptable. I'm not here to try to fight that though, as it's a losing battle. One thing we take for granted at this point is the ease with which we can now hail a cab.

With countless apps at our disposal, we can still get around the city regardless of what mess TfL create on the daily commute. You have the big boys that everyone knows about, whose safety and security is all right but definitely questionable at times. (Side note - it's bizarre that London is one of the only cities in the UK that doesn't require every vehicle to display its private cab licence).
