In this lesson, we will learn the phrases that you can use to talk about commuting in public transportation.

John, I need some advice.

Sure Tyra. What is it?

I need to go to Las Vegas for a conference. Can you tell me if I can get a bus?

A conference in Vegas? That sounds awesome! Well, you can easily find a bus from the interstate.

Any idea when the bus leaves?

I've used it once. I think it leaves at 7.30 AM. But do check. Maybe you can call them.

Hmm...Yeah. I will call them and find out.

Alright, so it's decided. I'll see you at 6.30 at the Central Station.

I'll be there Winnie, but can't we make it a bit later? What about 7?

I'll be taking the 6PM subway train so I'll get there by 6.30. But no problems, I'll hang around.

Why don't you take a bus instead?

I don't like traveling on buses, John. The subway is faster and safer.

You're right about that.

I need to get to Westport St. this evening. Does a bus go there from Newtown?

Well, I don't think so. It's a small street at the other end of town. I think you'll need to change at Westbanks.

Change the bus? That's going to take me so much time. Isn't there a better way?

You could always go by car, or take the subway.

Is there a subway stop at Westport?

No, but there's one at Westbanks and you can get a bus from there.

Excuse me. I need to go to Rock street. Can you tell me which train to take?

Rock Street? Isn't that near Smith's Walk?

Yeah, that's right. Smith's Walk is right nearby.

Take the Green line, and get down at Browning Street. From there take a cab.

How far is it from Browning Street?

About 2 KMs I think. You could walk too.

The weather is nice today. I might walk. Thank you for your help.

No problem. It's a pleasure to be of help.
