Question

New York is a very large city with a large population.How do so many people move on their way to work or school?Let’s know something about its transportation.

You can travel by subway,bus,taxi and car.The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city.Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.

The second way to travel around the city is by public bus.It is a slower way to travel.This is because the traffic is very heavy.

You can also travel around the city by taxi.This is very expensive,but the taxi will take you to the very place you want to go to.During the mornings and afternoons,there is the “rush hour”.This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and coming back from work. 

The last way to get around New York is driving your own car.It’s not easy for you to drive during the “rush hour”.

The best time to travel around the city is from 9:00 a.m.to 4:00 p.m.because it isn’t the “rush hour”.Traffic will be less heavy because most people are already at school or at work.
