I can see that there are many options for transport in Britain.
You can choose to travel by bus, ferry, train, taxi, airplane or even drive on your own.

The British transport network is one of the most advanced in the world, boasting in a large number of paved roads, modern railways, airports and so on. 

However,  it’s a highly populated country and the traffic in British might be a bit painful to you especially if you’re not used to waiting in queues.

Following this, I could see that British is vast and sprawling, plenty of it is also really walkable – and, thanks to its winding streets, historic buildings and verdant spaces, many of its walks are marvellous indeed.

Walking is the cheapest way to travel around some city of British. In fact, you can get to most of the attractions just by walking.

There are public cycle points all around the city, and with the increase in cycle lanes, these are becoming a popular way to take short trips.

Hiring a bicycle is relatively easy – it costs £1.65 for 24 hours access to the system, which includes 30 minutes of actual ride time. After your first 30 minutes, each additional 30-minute segment costs you £1.65.

You pay your activation fee by card, and then you can access bicycles at points all across the city – there are literally hundreds of them to choose from.

There are so many bus routes in here, serving a huge area. You can basically get anywhere in British by bus.

Paying your British bus fare is easy. Simply touch your Oyster card or contactless payment card on the yellow card reader as you board the bus or show the driver your paper Travelcard. To avoid card clash, make sure to only touch one card on the yellow reader and keep your other cards separate. 

Bus fares are also cheaper, at a fixed price of £1.65 (as of February 2023) for a single journey.]]> 2023-03-15 09:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/laphuongcontact/britishtransportbyelisa/wish/2517468817 Using Buses laphuongcontact https://padlet.com/laphuongcontact/britishtransportbyelisa/wish/2517471452 Here are some tips for you when using buses in London]]> 2023-03-15 09:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/laphuongcontact/britishtransportbyelisa/wish/2517471452 Underground - The Tube laphuongcontact https://padlet.com/laphuongcontact/britishtransportbyelisa/wish/2517481277 The British Underground, or “Tube” as its nicknamed, is the oldest underground metro network in the world since 1863. Today, the British Underground carries over a billion passengers a year, and across 270 stations.

Interestingly, less than 50% of the track is actually underground, despite the name.

The Underground operates in fare zones 1 – 6, which cover British in expanding concentric circles, with zone 1 in the centre and zone 6 at the outside. Generally, the more zones you cross on your journey, the more expensive it will be.]]> 2023-03-15 09:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/laphuongcontact/britishtransportbyelisa/wish/2517481277 Taxis laphuongcontact https://padlet.com/laphuongcontact/britishtransportbyelisa/wish/2517486248 In page 163 of the book, it show you a lot information about taxis. British definitely has some iconic modes of transport, from the famous red bus through to the tube. But perhaps most famous of all is the black taxi - black cab.

Black taxis are certainly more expensive than any of the other forms of transport, but for the convenience of getting from one part of the city to another, they sometimes can’t be beaten.

To me, I was kind of excited to read about this part because it made me remember some old films from my childhood.

Personally, the part of Transport really attract me cause I can know more about car, road, etc in Britain and can see the modern of Britain.
