The subway drivers and those responsible for the signaling system and maintenance work began on Sunday a five-day strike to get through demands for higher wages and shorter working weeks, reports British media.
Those who do not want to try their luck on the already overcrowded road network and buses can use the commuter train, driverless DLR and the latest addition to London's local transport, Elizabeth Line, which runs from Heathrow Airport to central London and further east.
Even DLR will, however, be affected by the strike at times. And when the subway strike is over, a strike that affects bus traffic will begin on Friday.
The issue of working time reduction is the most important for the drivers, and the one that the transport company TFL does not want to change. Today, the drivers have a 35-hour week, but want to go down to 32 hours.
"It is neither practically possible nor something we can afford", replies TFL according to BBC.
Among those affected are Coldplay and Post Malone, who have been forced to move this week's concerts in London due to the expected traffic chaos, reports Sky News.
