4 City Transports
Jump to exercise walkthrough video
Read the descriptions of four types of city transport (A, B, C, and D). For each question, decide which type of transport is best for different needs.
City Transport
A. The City Bus
The city bus is a good choice for a low price. The routes go all over the city, so you can get to almost any area. You can buy a ticket that lets you travel all day. Buses are a good way to see the city's sights from the window. However, they share the road with other cars, so they can be slow if there is a lot of traffic.
B. The Metro
The Metro is the city's underground train system. It is the quickest way to travel long distances, especially during busy times, because it does not have to stop for traffic. The trains are very frequent, so you never have to wait long. The main problem is that the stations are only in the busiest parts of the city, and you cannot see anything during your journey.
C. The City Tram
Trams are a modern and comfortable way to travel. They run on metal tracks in the street and the journey is very smooth. The routes mainly connect the city centre with the areas just outside it. Like the bus, you can get a good view of the streets, but they can also be delayed by heavy traffic. Many people enjoy this clean and quiet form of transport.
D. City Taxis
A taxi is a private car that takes you exactly where you want to go. You do not have to wait at a stop, and it will take you from door to door. It is the most comfortable way to travel, but it is also the most expensive. The final price depends on how far you need to go. Like buses and trams, taxis can get stuck in traffic.
