London transport

Tram, Transport, Transportation

 taxis in London are a popular icon

they're called cabs the driver is called
a cabbie or cab driver and they're
usually black when you see a cab put out
your arm to stop the driver tell him or
her where you want to go and sit and
relax remember to give the cabbie a
small tip when you pay the cycling
around London is healthy but a bit
dangerous traditional red double-decker
buses give you a good view of the city
but they can be a bit slow in the
morning or evening traffic you pay the
driver when you get on or you can use
your day or weekly travel car there's
always an underground or tube station
nearby in London and it's the quickest
way to get around the only problem is
it's always full of people buy your
ticket at the ticket office and then
check there are no problems with your
line there sometimes closed for works or
problems finding your way around is easy
with the underground map there are 12
lines and each line has a different
color the Circle Line is yellow for
example and the District Line green the
tube in London's expensive if you don't
pay with an oyster card for example
children under 16 pay just one pound all
day you have to insert your ticket into
the Machine or touch the Oyster card on
the pad make sure you get the right
ticket it can be expensive if not the
escalators save you walking up and down
the stairs in some stations there are
lives but these get very crowded at busy
times
remember to stand on the right as people
walking down on the left are probably in
a hurry and will get annoyed if you
don't as you can see the platform curves
but the trains are straight this creates
a space that people could fall into so a
recorded voice says mind the gap over
and over my in case you forget it's also
written on the platform be careful of
the closing doors
you can get a seat if you're lucky but
be prepared to stand up in the morning
and evening rush hours the tube is very
popular among London's listen for the
announcements on the train they'll tell
you the name of the next station and any
connections available
buying batteries
