For some of us it's nothing more that a daily nuisance. A sweaty, overcrowded chore that gets us from our homes to whichever office space we choose to spend our working week. For Rihanna, it's a great big photo opportunity.
Last night, Drake performed at London's O2. Rihanna decided she would quite like to go. Instead of turning up in a limo, helicopter or other suitable vehicle for an international superstar, she decided to travel on the Jubilee line with all the other Drake fans.
Needless to say, this excited a lot of otherwise slightly-uncomfortable travellers. Take a look at what you missed if you weren't on the same carriage.
