A special taxi, which is sometimes called a black cab, is the most comfortable way to travel. You simply hail a taxi in the street or go to a taxi-rank where there are several taxis waiting, for example, at a station. At the end of your journey you can see how much the fare is by looking at the meter. You add a tip to this, and that’s all. Very simple. But expensive!

What about taking a bus? It has two floors, it’s called a red double-decker bus and you can get a nice view from the upper deck. Most buses have a two-person crew: the driver and the conductor who takes your money. Keep your ticket because an inspector might want to check it. You catch a bus by waiting at the bus stop. You can see where a bus is going because the destination is written on the front.

Quicker than the bus is the Underground, which is also known by its nickname “Tube”. You buy your ticket at the ticket office. Go down to the platform. The train comes. The door opens. You get in. You look at the map of the underground system. Very simple.

For longer distances take trains. They are very fast. Put your luggage on the rack and sit and wait till you arrive.

Перевод: Специальное такси, которое иногда называют чёрным кэбом, — самый удобный способ путешествовать. Вы просто ловите такси на улице или идёте на стоянку такси, например, у станции. В конце поездки можно посмотреть стоимость проезда на счётчике. Вы добавляете чаевые — и всё. Очень просто. Но дорого!

Как насчёт автобуса? У него два этажа; он называется красным двухэтажным автобусом, и с верхнего этажа открывается хороший вид. В большинстве автобусов работают два человека: водитель и кондуктор, который берёт у вас деньги. Сохраните билет: контролёр может попросить его показать. Чтобы сесть на автобус, подождите на остановке. Понять, куда он едет, можно по надписи спереди.

Быстрее автобуса — метро, которое также известно под прозвищем «Тьюб». Вы покупаете билет в кассе, спускаетесь на платформу. Приходит поезд. Дверь открывается. Вы заходите. Вы смотрите на карту метро. Очень просто.

На большие расстояния ездите на поездах. Они очень быстрые. Поставьте багаж на полку и сидите, пока не приедете.
