A staff strike on London’s Underground network began on 08 September and is expected to continue until 12 September, causing significant disruption for millions of commuters. The workers are demanding better pay and working conditions. While buses, the DLR, and other rail lines remain operational, they have experienced increased crowding. Downing Street has urged both sides to return to the negotiating table. The walkout has forced many Londoners to work from home or find alternative transportation, with e-bike services reporting a surge in demand.
