1 17. TRAFFIC Means of public transport include buses, trams, trolleybuses and underground trains.

People travel by bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, car, taxi, camper, bus, tram, trolleybus, underground train, plane, ship, boat and ocean liners. Goods are transported by van, lorry, truck, plane, ship, boat and ferry. I usually go everywhere by car. As my husband starts with the work very early, I have to take my son to the kindergarten, and later to the school. I drive a day about half an hour. From Spring till September, if the weather is good, I ride a bicycle to work. It is very enjoyable for me, because I can listen to my favourite music. This tour takes me twenty minutes there and back. I think, the fastest type is the underground, though in Hungary you can find it only in the capital. It is also the most comfortable, because it is fast, it doesnt get stuck in traffic jams and runs quite frequently. I dont like buses, because they are slower and often crowded. In Britain is no tram service. There are double-deckers, which can carry more passengers than buses. If I were the leader of the country, I would have built some bypasses, so that vehicles would avoid the town centres. As for the country, I would have the roads repaired more frequently and I would have a lot of new roads and motorways built. There are different road signs, which give information and instructions to drivers. They tell the drivers what to do. It is important for pedestrians to know the road signs and symbols, because they take part in traffic too, otherwise they would risk their lives and endanger other pedestrians and even drivers. In Hungary there are two types of traffic lights. They can be 3 coloured and used to control traffic at road junctions for drivers and motorcyclist or 2 coloured at zebra crossings for pedestrians. If the lights are red, it means that you have to stop and wait. When the lights are green, you can continue on your way. If the lights are amber, it means that red will follow. It they are red and amber, it means that green will follow. In some European countries and in the U.S. the red and amber lights are not on at the same time. Rush hours are time periods when the roads, buses, trains are most crowded, because most people are travelling to or from work. You can buy tickets at newsagents, ticket offices, in shops, from ticket machines and from the drivers, which is more expensive. Then you have to validate your ticket either punching i tor stamping it. If you buy a season ticket, it is cheaper for trams and trolleybuses
