Sometimes, at the subway/tube, there are delays in train circulation. What happens after such a delay is that some trains come crammed with people, and you can’t get in.
My solution? (note – it’s not always the optimal solution) Take the tube in the opposite direction, and get on a subway a few stops earlier.
It’s much more likely that the subway train will have fewer passengers at earlier stations, and I can get in.
