Public Transportation: Conversation (Intermediate)

Hi Tom! I need to go to the airport tomorrow morning.

You should take the train because it's faster than the bus.

How much is the train fare to the airport?

I think the ticket costs about fifteen dollars for adults.

Do I need to buy the ticket at the station?

You can buy it online or use a ride-sharing app.

That's convenient! What about transfers if I miss the train?

The trains run every twenty minutes, so you won't wait long.

Is there a direct train or do I need a transfer?

There's a direct line that goes straight to the airport terminal.

Perfect! What time should I arrive at the station?

I recommend arriving thirty minutes before your train departs.

Can I use my credit card to pay the fare?

Yes, most stations accept cards and also have ticket machines.

What if the machines aren't working when I arrive?

There's always a ticket office where staff can help you.

Thanks for all the information! You've been really helpful.

No problem! Have you downloaded any taxi apps for emergencies?

Yes, I have two ride-sharing apps on my phone already.

Great! Just remember to check the fare before you confirm.
