LONDON—The choices Thursday in London: Take a hike, ride a bike, try to find a bus you like.
Millions of commuters jammed buses, rented bicycles, or simply walked for miles to and from work as a 24-hour strike shut down the British capital’s famed subway system and threw public transport into chaos.
Train drivers on the London Underground solidly supported the strike in a dispute over pay and schedules that take effect when 24-hour service is introduced on some lines later this year. That unanimity has made this strike more severe than previous ones in which management was able to keep a few Tube lines operating.
I just don't think (strikers) have seen the big picture here.
