## Resource

London’s Tube plunged into chaos as RMT drivers struck over a proposed 35-hour, four-day workweek, halting trains on some lines and crippling others. TfL apologized as ridership dropped 43% by 10 AM, with rain pushing crowds to buses and cabs. Commuters faced missed exams, tourists caught off guard — and officials warned of escalating disruption. Mayor calls strike a “failure,” while TfL notes 60% driver turnout — still open to talks — as a 24-hour walkout looms Thursday.
