单选题 The London Underground (usually called "the tube") is the biggest subway system in the world. It is also the fastest way to travel in the city. The network consists of nine major routes (路线), called "lines".
You can buy tickets at any underground station, at a ticket office, or from a ticket machine. Some of the ticket machines require exact money.
