The
Tube (nickname for London’s
underground) is the most common way of traveling in the city. A journey by tube
is quick and easy but you don’t see very much of the city because trains run
under the streets. Some of the tube lines are very old. The Metropolitan line
is the oldest in the world. It opened in 1863.
You’ll
see much more of London from a bus. The buses are red and some of them are
double-decker buses so that you can get a good view of the city. Tourist buses
take visitors to some of the most famous places in the city.
There
are special travel tickets to use within a day, weekly… You can find details if
you visit an information centre.
There are also lots of taxis in
London. They are usually black. Taxi drivers are always friendly and helpful.
