Despite having the tube and double-decker busses, London is the most traffic congested city in the world.

Imagine how bad it would be without the tube and busses! All these people trying to drive in London? Just thinking about it I shudder and I've never even seen London.
Good job they have them, in that case!
According to a study conducted in 1000 cities in 50 countries based on data from connected vehicles and phones. Not disagreeing with the premise but I expect there are plenty of other more "congested" cities, visit Manila or Jakarta for example. The UK should however definitely do more to fund its public infrastructure.
London has one of the best transport system in the country.
Manila is hell
Not all sources agree on that. Also, I can think of a way or two to eliminate all traffic congestion.
I was in London for a few days last year and it was pretty fine
At least in my experience most of the traffic is people trying to go into London from commuter towns, and they'll take the motorways not the streets
