A

Vehicles

Vehicle is the general word for all types of road transport.

B

Travelling
around


I go to work by bus. It’s only three stops.

We got the train to Cardiff, but the journey was terrible.

When the bus fares went up last month, my
dad started cycling to work.

I got out of the taxi and almost
walked away without paying the fare.

If there are
more flights, airfares should be
cheaper.

We were going
to get the train to Paris, but
in the end we decided to fly.

Are you happy with public
transport?*

live buses are not very convenient1;

to wait in a queue3
for about twenty minutes, and then three come along at the same time!
