A taxi, sometimes called a 1. **cab**, is the most comfortable way to travel. You
simply 2. **hail** a taxi in the street or go to a 3. **taxi rank**, where there are

**tip** to this, and that’s it. Very simple. But expensive!

woman) who takes your money. Keep your ticket because an 13. **inspector**
may want to 14. **check** it. You catch a bus by waiting at a 15. **bus stop**.
You can see where a bus is going to because the 16. **destination** is written on
the front. But try to avoid the 17. **rush hour**. Quicker than the bus is the
underground (called the 18. **tube** in London, the 19. **subway** in New
York, and the 20. **metro** in Paris and many other cities). You can buy your
ticket at the ticket office. Go down to the 21. **platform** on the 22.
**escalator** or in the 23. **lift**. The train comes. The 24. **sliding 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 25.
**coach**, which is slower but cheaper. The train is very fast. Put your luggage on
the 26. **rack** and sit and wait till you arrive.
