3.Translation
    游览城市时交通是个十分重要的因素。主要有3种方式：出租车、公共汽车和地铁。
出租车是最贵的方式，但最为方便。在美国，乘客通常要付给出租车司机小费，付车费的10%~20%的小费就可以了。
旅行最便宜宜方式是乘公共汽车。如果想多看一些地方而又少花钱，就可以乘公共汽车。来往于城市之间的汽车称为市际汽车。市内汽车只在特定的区域内行驶。特殊用途的汽车包括包租汽车和观光车。包车是被旅游团包租的。观光车是沿着特定的路线给游客参观当地景物的。
    当你乘无人售票车时，把车费放进司机旁边的一个金属盒子里。你应事先准备好所需的车费，因为这是不找零钱的。在许多地区可以在城市的一些地方购买“代用币”，这是可以代替钱使用的小硬币。除非有乘客上下车，公共汽车司机不会每站都停。因此，若想下车的话，就拉开窗上的绳子告诉司机。
    地铁比汽车快，也更为有效。它也不贵并且可以帮助解决城市交通问题。但是地铁受路线的限制，而且通常很拥挤，嘈杂。
