@ oyewolejos
am not sick by my own definition of mega cities LA does not fall into that category because it last a a proper transportation system if you have been to LA you will know what I am talking about

haha. FYI: oyewolejos lives outside of LA brotha.

fair enough if he does then he will know what i am saying is true
dont get me wrong LA is a lovely city if theres money i will say its probbly best place to live in the world
but I dont consider it a mega city like london chicago or NY in fact the smaller cities in UK have a better network than LA does
his post was very critical of the UK and completely flawed in my opinion hence why I have challenged it very vigorously

Guy check your facts before u just rush into conclusion.L.A has Metro bus and Rail network. Their website is www.metrolinktrains.com while the bus service website is www.metro.net
You are really ignorant of many things.A whole L.A won't have metro.Capital of the West Coast,Home of Hollywood,City of Angels. Do u think L.A is CaLabar or Uyo?
Next time please abstain yourself from such ignorant believe

First of all when you see a pink 'f' besides a user name it means you are communicating with a woman.


What do you mean check my facts? I have been to LA three times and the public transportation system is CRAP! That is the only way to describe it. CRAP! During one the occasions when I was there I was unable to sort myself with a car and ended up depending on public transport. NEVER AGAIN. I spent at least 80% of that holiday waiting for a bus or walking until my legs were going to drop off. Even taxi's are barely in existance! LA is a great city but is a mega city, uh no!

well said elosela
thats the point i ve been ttrying to put across

ah so now you are using population
then your whole thread is just silly because like previously said UK is a small country, if you knew your geography you would know this and not have even started the thread in the 1st place

It's not about population. Those are the world's largest cities. I just thwarted your view that LA is not a Mega city.

no one is disputiing that if you are using geographical size now by using the word large then obviously the uk wont have a mega city the size of los angeles or others on the list
  so you should not have started the thread in the 1st place
so next time you need to think about the implications of what your thread says because there are so many clever people on nairaland wh would dispute such claims

I don't give a Bleep if u are a woman or man.No offense, Some people use to hide their real gender here on this forum so i do like to call everybody guy.
On the Taxi thingy i think that is your opinion.U have to call Taxi in L.A so u can't just stand in front of your house and stop a taxi when u are not in Warri.
Never Again should u come to L.A since it's not a mega city in your word.
I won't join issues with u on the London thing but for u to fabricate lies on the city i live in is forbidden.
I haven't been to London so i won't be able to talk on that but for L.A u can tell me nothing.

All what u are saying about L.A is figment of your own imagination.No iota of truth is inside. It's totally arrant nonsense.
Is only a fool that doubt a proof say ,

Yeah right, but I have told you that I am a woman.

I should not come to LA? And who are you? The Terminator?? lol. I will go to LA whenever I want to dear and I will express my opinion on it whenever I want to and see fit to do so. Hardly anyone uses a taxi in LA and so they are hard to come by. LA may be a megacity in terms of population but it isn't a fully functional metropolis like London. New York or Tokyo.


@Afam

You are right, I have just looked up the definition for megacities and it appears they are defined by the size of its population. True London is the only city in the Uk that has a big enough population which can define it as the countries only megacity but there are also plenty of other well developed functional cities in the UK. To say that London is the only city in the UK is a false statement.

@ oyewolejos
I have been to LA hence why i say the transport system is poor the buses travel in one dirtection and u ve to cross the road to the other side to get another bus to ur destination
all them road is labrea, and westwood just explain how buses can only travel in 1 direction just on a straight line hardly ever turning

Pls can you quote me where i made such statement. So, you did'nt even readthe post before arguing.

You may not have said it directly but you more or less implied so.
