Yes, my bad I clearly missed that comment, the caffine buzz is wearing off.
I think they might have targeted the bus and trains just due to easy access. I'm sure it would be a lot harder to targer say a government building then getting onto a public transportation vehicle.
Assuming it had something to do with the Olympics and the amount of media with their eyes on London, an attack might have been made on the fly to create more terror around the world. And what better way to send a message then to attack the city with the most media attention at the current time?

They target the transit system because it is so central to London life and the economy. This bombing shuts down swathes of commercial activity by shutting down the tube. Getting into the city is impossible unless you pay a taxi (gets pricey and they can only take so many people) or have a scooter. There is no parking. And then add in the fear that people will have afterwards when the ride the tube. I can tell you for one that after 9/11, i cabbed it daily for a couple months. Scary shinguard.
