Of course in London the Tube or Subway is used by many children to get to school. This is mostly boys attending state secondary scools or private schools. Children attending primary schools generally live near their schools and can walk to school. The Subway isn't suitable for the youngest children, but most prep-school age children seem able to negotiate it without any real difficulties. The Subway is quick and efficient and in London faster than cars and busses. It used to be qquite inexpensive, but during the 1980s the fares went up quite a bit. Stations scattered all over London and into the suburnbs making it possible to just about anuwhere in London.
