way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with
people that it was almost impossible for hore carriages to get around. The city officials were interested
in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of Londin and travel easily to work each day. If
people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to get to and from work, they would
settle down outside of the city.
This would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor
parts in London. From these problems, the idea of the london underground, the first subway system, was
