PUBLIC TRANSPORT

A taxi, sometimes called a __1__, is the most comfortable way to travel.

At the end of your journey, you can see how much the __4__ is by looking at the __5__. You add a __6__ to this, and that’s it. Very simple. But expensive! What about taking a bus? If it has- two floors, it’s called a double- __7__ and you can get a good view from the top. If it has only one floor, it’s called a(an) __8__-decker. Most buses have a twoperson __9__ the __10__, who drives, of course, and the __11__, who takes your money. Keep your ticket because a(an) __12__ might want to __13__ it. You catch a bus by waiting at a bus __14__. You can see where a bus is going because the __15__ is written on the front. But try to avoid the __16__ hour. Quicker than the bus is the underground (called the __17__ in London, the __18__ in New York and the __19__ in Paris and many other cities). You buy your ticket at the ticket-office. Go down to the __20__ on the __21__ or in the __22__. The train comes. The __23__ doors open. You get on. You look at the map of the underground system, Very simple. For longer distances take a train or a long distance bus, usually called a __24__ which is slower but cheaper. The train is very fast.
