Tastes in Travel November 15, 2013

Students at PC TECH are writing about means of transportation in their countries.

Souleymane describes the most practical ways to travel in Burkina Faso:

In my country people use many forms of transportation, but the [most practical] are bicycles and motorcycles.  These methods of travel are less expensive and are adaptable to the roads.

Many people also use buses and taxis or their own cars, but most of them [ride] bicycles and motorcycles.

We don’t have subways in my country.  Sometimes people take children by motorcycle to school.  We can also see bicycles and motorcycles used as taxis.

Trains are Kevin’s ideal way to travel around France, his country of origin:

            There are many forms of transportation in my country, but my favorite is the train – definitely.  I prefer the train because the [riders] are more polite than [those] in the subway.  I used to sleep on the train when I was going to school every morning.  I think that the train is more useful if we live in the [suburbs] and work in the city.  The trains are faster than a car or a bus and there is less risk of [heavy] traffic.

The only inconvenience of the train is that there are only two trains per hour, so we shouldn’t miss the train if we don’t want to be late.  For my part, the train is the coolest form of transportation.
