Do you prefer public transport or driving? Why?

B1Driving & getting aroundOpinion

A natural way to answer

It depends, really. For short trips around town I'd rather take the bus, but for longer journeys I prefer driving because you've got more freedom and you're not tied to a timetable.

Key phrases to use

  • stuck in traffic — unable to move or making very slow progress because of heavy traffic“Sorry I'm late — I got stuck in traffic on the ring road.”
