IN THE STREET  

Read the texts and answer the questions  

In the streets, roads and squares of the town we see people walking and vehicles driving. The vehicles are: trams, buses, trolley-buses, taxis and motor-cycles, motor-scooters and bicycles.

Along the streets there are street lamps, at the corners of the streets there are traffic lights. The street lights are switched on when it gets dark; are switched off when it gets light. When the red traffic light is switched on, the traffic stops; when the green light is switched on, the vehicles drive on.

Along the street we also see bus, trolley-bus and tram stops. People get on and off public transport there. In the streets there are also Tube stations where people get on and off the underground electric railway.

At big crossroads in large towns and cities there are subways for pedestrians and fly-overs for vehicles. At nearly all street corners there are pedestrian crossings for people to cross the road.

In England vehicles drive on the left. In Ukraine the traffic drives on the right.

Outside the towns we travel from one place to another by train, plane or boat.

TRANSPORTATION  

In the United States public transportation is not as developed as in Ukraine, for people prefer to use private cars. The most common forms of public transportation are taxi, subway and bus.

Taxis can be found around major cities at taxi stands, or you may hail them on the street by raising an arm above the head. You can also order a taxi by calling on the phone. The yellow pages of the phone book list “taxis”. Passengers always sit at the backseat of the cab and the fare is paid at the end of the trip.

Taxi fare is determined by meter placed next to the driver, on the dashboard of the taxi. Usually the fare depends on the distance. You should expect to pay from 5 to 10 dollars at least. A tip of 15% of the fare should be given to the driver when the fare is paid.

Subways in America are very diverse. The major cities which have subway systems include New York, Washington D.C., Chicago and San Francisco. Payment for the in each of these cities varies. For example, the New York subway accepts coins and the fee is the same for everyone regardless of distance – one dollar. However in Washington D.C. you must obtain what is called a “fare card”. The “fare card” is inserted at the gate upon entering and exiting the subway. The price of the trip depends on the distance travelled and the time of the day. It varies from 50 cents to 2 dollars. Rush hours are the most expensive time to travel by subway.

You can find a bus at the bus stop. If you want to use the bus regularly you should buy a map of the bus routes. Of course you may also ask a policeman what bus to use.

American bus fare is between 50 cents and one dollar. You must pay the exact amount as bus drivers do not carry change. The fare is deposited in the metal box located next to the driver when the passenger enter the bus. All passengers must enter through the entrance closest to the front of the bus so the driver can watch them pay the fare.

A few seconds before the bus arrives at your desired stop, you must pull the wire located at the side of the bus above the head. This wire rings a bell which signals the driver to stop at the next bus stop. Unlike Ukrainian buses, American buses do not automatically stop (they do so only if signalled, or if someone is waiting to board).
