Every day is different and that’s why Melanie

READING

Read the text and answer the questions. a. What's another name for the London Underground?

b. When is the underground usually very busy?

c. Where is a good place to sit to see the sights?

d. Where can you use travelcards?

e. What's the problem with taking a taxi?

f. How much do you have to pay if you take your car into the centre of London?


By underground

The London Underground, usually called 'the tube', is enormous and can take you everywhere quickly. However, it is hot and uncomfortable in the summer, and can be confusing for tourists, who often get on the wrong train. It can also be very crowded in the 'rush hour' (7.00-9.00 in the morning and 5.00-7.00 in the evening).

By bus

The buses give you a good view of the sights, especially if you travel upstairs, but if the traffic is bad, your journey can take a long time. Special tickets, called travelcards, can be used on both buses and the underground and are quite economical.

By taxi or car

Taxis are excellent, but very expensive. Never take a car into central London - it's nearly impossible to park, and you also have to pay a congestion charge (currently £5) every time you drive into the centre.
