3.Translation
     Transportation plays an important role in going around the city. It includes mainly three ways: taxi, bus and subway train.
Taxi is the most expensive way among them, but the most convenient one. Anywhere from ten to twenty percent of the total fare would be appropriate.
The most inexpensive way to travel is by bus. If people want to see more places without spending much money, they can travel by bus. Buses going between cities are called inter-city bus. Local buses operate only within a specific area. Special buses include charter buses and tour buses. Charter buses are hired for group trips. Tour buses follow special routes to show local sights to visitors.
    When you get on the one-man bus, you just drop your fare into a metal box near the driver.r. You should prepare exact fare before-hand because it will not give you changes, In many areas, you may purchase “tokens” which are small coins used instead of money and may be bought at several locations around the city. Bus drivers do not stop at every stop unless there are passengers getting on or off. Therefore, if you want to get off, pull the cord above the side window to signal the driver.
    Subway trains run more quickly and efficiently than buses. They too, are inexpensive and help solve city traffic problems. But subway trains are limited by the routes, and they are often crowded and noisy.
