Getting to work

1:24

A bit too far to walk, then.

1:24

A bit too far to walk.

1:25

I have walked when the public transport has been unreliable.

1:29

But normally I... I get the bus to the Tube stop,

1:35

and then I get on the Tube into work.

1:38

Lovely. And do you like the Tube?

1:40

What do you think about it?

1:42

I think the Tube is very convenient, actually,

1:46

because the trains go very frequently.

1:50

So if you miss one, you can wait just a couple of minutes and get the next one.

1:56

And it's probably the quickest way to get into central London

2:01

because there's so much traffic.

2:04

Driving is a really bad idea.

2:06

Yeah, I agree with you.

2:09

It is very reliable.

2:11

It's usually very easy.

2:13

The thing I don't like about it, especially in the morning at rush hour,

2:18

is the number of people on the Tube.

2:21

The... the underground trains in London are very old.

2:26

They're very small.

2:27

And they are very crowded in the mornings.

2:31

So 'crowded' means there's lots of people.

2:34

We can also say 'packed'.

2:37

Yeah, and I really don't like being in a tight space

2:41

with lots of people in the mornings, so early in the morning.

2:45

Yeah, I agree, but I'm lucky because I get on the Tube at the first stop,

2:50

so I always get a seat,
