Taking the Bus

Dialogue 1

Excuse me. Does this bus go to the newly – built cinema?

No, you’ll have to get off at the bookstore, and take number 39.

Thank you. How much is the fare to that stop?

$1

 How many stops are there?

Three stops including this one.

That’s not too bad. By the way, do I need a transfer again after number 39?

No, a number 39 will take you right there.

Thank you.

Dialogue 2

Excuse me. I’ve been waiting here for 15 minutes. Do you know how often number nine runs?

Oh, it runs every 20 minutes. You must have missed one when you came here. It would be here any minute now.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Do you mind if I ask you where you are going?

I’m going to the hospital.

Okay. Actually you can take both number nine and number twelve to the hospital.

Really? That sounds great. By the way, do you know where I can find a bus schedule?

You can go to the Transportation Department to get yourself a bus schedule and a bus route map. It’s just around the corner.

I see. Thank you very much.
