Redfin Inc. an online real estate company that aims to give buyers an idea of the market their buying in recently ranked London last in terms of quality of public transportation (Only cities with a population of 300,000+ were ranked.)
Redfin creates a transit score for the cities they rank.
“The Transit Score algorithm calculates a score by summing the relative usefulness of public transit (bus, subway, light rail, ferry, etc.) routes near a given location. Usefulness is defined as the distance to the nearest stop on the route, the frequency of the route, and type of route (with twice as much weight given to heavy/light rail than to bus service).
London scored a 45 the lowest score given.
Residents of London often experience frustration with the London Transit Commission the primary operators of public transportation in the city.
Speaking with Fanshawe students gave some idea Jill Larson a second year nursing student said: “I have to take three buses when my route stops running at eight when I’m at the hospital and I’ve had buses just drive by me because they are full.”
Unfortunately, this problem has been long running with London receiving the bottom rank four of the last five years.
