'Safer than driving'

Others, however, expressed defiance and optimism.

Chris Lowe, from London, said: "Even after two rounds of bombs I am amazed by people saying they will give up using the Tube and switch to using their cars.

"If the bombers manage to get even a small number of people to switch from public transport to cars they will have much more effect at shutting down London than they achieve with their bombs.

"The Tube is still one of the safest ways to travel and is far safer than driving a car.

"I will in no way change my use of it due to terrorist action."

If it is then he is obviously forgetting his Blackpool roots. I thought it was bad enough that he supports Arsenal instead of the mighty Seasiders

I actually see sense in what he said. Why should people stop using the Tube just because of 2 terrorist incidents? I know what happened was horrible but why should that put people off going about their normal daily routine?

I'd hate to see the day when passengers are stopped at Tube stations and have to take off their shoes like at airports, just to see if there are bombs inside. No-one can change the past but we must learn to continue on with our lives, no matter what happens in the future!

He may not even be the same Chris Lowe. In a city the size of London, there's probably quite a few guys with the same name.

I think they would have mentioned that as a little note. "Chris Lowe of the pet shop boys."

I agree. And knowing a little how Chris expresses himself he would be clearer expresing himself and more forceful. I find him so attractive about that...

I agree with your point but let's be honest, 2 terrorist attacks in a week would put me off using public transport.I can understand why people wouldn't use it.

People in Madrid keep using trains since 11th-March tragedy.

If we don't use the public transport, the terrorists would feel like they've won. We have to use the transport to show them that we aren't afraid of them.

Fact of the matter is, you could get killed by a dangerous motorist whilst crossing the road this evening. Are you gonna stop crossing the road? If you live your whole life in fear, you ain't gonna have a life.

I totally agree with you. We should not be afraid of the terrorists & this will not put me off using public transport.
