London Tube, the people are crazy but its useful
S-Bahn? U-Bahn?
Crazy? no no no... dear boy we celebrate eccentricity here and the tube and tube stations has plenty of harmless eccentrics...
In a previous life, I was posted to MOD in London. My first day going into the city, I catch the Tube from King's Cross and am idly studying my fellow passengers. At the far end of the car I see a pair of stylish flat pump shoes, dark smoke-grey stockings, a beige mini-skirt, topped off by a dark blue blazer but can't see other details because the owner is avidly reading a broadsheet newspaper. I watch for a few seconds more only to discover....it was a BLOKE! With bright, roundel-red hair and earings. GAAACCKKKK!!! Did nobody tell the guy he shouldn't wear flat pumps and a mini skirt...particularly not in the morning rush-hour! It quite put me off my breakfast!
