The Underground has never ceased to amaze me. Not that it is an incredible feat of early 20th century engineering, or that it somehow manages to turn intelligent professionals into half zombified morons, but that despite a train usually coming around every 2 to 3 minutes happy faced Londoners seen to want to rush, push and force their way up and down the left hand side of the escalator just to get on a train 2 minutes earlier than the next.
Now their mad existence has now become even more ridiculous.
A new iPhone app can now even tell them which carriage to board so that they can exit right bang in front of the station exit.
John Harrison has launched an Apple iPhone application called TubePro which allows commuters to hasten their exit and will duly charge them £1.19 for the privilege.
Incredibly it is not on it’s own with a competitive ‘Tube Exits’ iPhone app, developed by Australian-born Wimbledon resident Lance Stewart launched just last month but more expensive at £1.79.
Nice functionality but utterly pointless
