LONDON — Millions of commuters cycled, trudged and waited in snaking bus queues Monday as a strike by London Underground station staff shut down much of the city’s subway network.
Scores of Tube stations and many of the city’s subway lines were closed during the morning rush hour, forcing Londoners to walk, use overcrowded buses, seek scarce taxis or work from home.
Some took to bicycles, weaving through slow-moving traffic.
“It is really scary out there, cyclists are taking huge chances,” doctor Simon Quantrill said. “The traffic is mad.”
