Task 1 Read the dialogue about transportation. Bob: Hello, I’m sorry, but I am late. Can you help me? Mark: Sure, no problem! How may I help you? Bob: When is the next train to Ansonia? Mark: I am not sure, but I think the next one leaves tomorrow at 8 pm. Bob: What?! I can’t wait that long! What time is the next bus? Mark: It should go by in about two hours. It leaves the bus station at about 5.30 pm. Bob: Well, I don’t know. Isn’t there any other option? Mark: You could take a taxi… Bob: What’s faster, the bus or the taxi? Mark: The taxi, of course! All you have to do is to call and ask for a taxi and it will come right away. Bob: You are right, but which is the cheapest one? Mark: The cheapest means of transportation is the subway.
