A taxi, sometimes called a __1__, is the most comfortable way to travel. You simply __2__ the taxi in the street or go to a taxi __3__, where there are several taxis waiting, for example at a station. 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. Put your luggage on the __25__ and sit and wait till you arrive. 1. A) rack B) tip C) lift D) cab 2. A) coach B) hail C) tube D) fare 3. A) rank B) center C) lift D) platform 4.
