B, Read the article about public transport. Getting around Over the centuries, it became more and more Important to move larger and larger groups of people from one place to another faster, more comfortably and less oxponsivoly. The stagecoach wes probably the first organised means of public transport. A stagecoach wes like a cart pulled by horses — it had four wheels, but was closed in with a roof and doors. They first appeared in the 16th century in Britain. An average-sized stagecoach could carry about six passengers. If they were traveling a long distance. passengers would stay the night at an inn, which was like a hotel. Page 1of9‘At the beginning of the 19th century, buses first appeared. The early ones looked tke stagecoaches and were puiled by horses, but the difference was that passengers could get off the bus at many different stops along the way, making them an ideal means of travelling within cities. When motors replaced horses as a source of power, the number of buses quickly increased es people realised they were a good way to get to work or go shopping. The main drawback in travelling by bus is the long period of time you often have to walt for one. ‘An underground train is a train which travels below the streets of a city. It provides @ auick way to get around because it avoids heavy traffic, but in many cities it is quite expensive. Also, underground trains often don't serve all the areas of a city, so people have to take a bus to the station. What is more, in some cities the service ‘s not clean and comfortable. Other means of tansport are spacialised and so not used by everyone. Ferries, for example, are only used to travel between islands or across rivers and seas. A commen problem with the ferty, as with other means of transport as well, is thet at certain times of the year, it can be ‘extremoly difficult to find a ticket unless you have booked way in advance. Also, ferries can be rather slow and may be cancelled or delayed if the weather is bed. ‘As you can see, mass transport has certainly changed over the years. However, modem means of transport create a lot of pollution, end so the question is: Have we paid too big a price for easy travel? 1, For questions 1-5, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text, 4.
