Two ways to the same city
Every Friday I travel from my town to the capital. There are two means of transport: the bus and the train. They have one thing in common — you have to buy a ticket before you get on.
A train travels on tracks, whereas a bus travels on the road. That is the main difference, and it changes everything. The train is faster and more comfortable — you can walk about inside the carriage; on the other hand, the train station is far from my house.
The bus is convenient because it stops on my street, but it is slow and not very reliable: last week my bus was delayed for an hour, so I nearly missed the meeting.
So which do I choose? It depends on the weather. If it is raining, I'd rather take the train and read a book. If the sun is out, I prefer the bus to the train — you see the fields all the way.
