I've been to London only once (on vacations), and, as far as I was concerned,
public transport is not that bad. Of course, I was not using fixed routes or
trying to get somewhere at a specific time during rush hours, that should make
some difference.
In a general broad sense my experience with public transport in London is that
it's decent reliable and efficient enough to help you without being such a pain
to use.
Of course, my opinion might be slightly biased by the fact that most of my life
I've used public transport in third world countries, where, I can assure you,
everybody prefers to have a car and handle the maintenance burden and the
parking hassle than to rely on public transport...
My 2 travelled cents. ;)
Cheers
