Which Bus Should I Take?
Traveler: Is this the bus that goes by the park?
Driver: No, it isn't. But you can transfer1 from
this bus to bus number 24 when we get to the 1st Street.
Traveler: Good. How much is the fare?
Driver: It's eighty cents for adults and thirty-five
cents for children under twelve. Don't use bill, and
drop the exact fares into the money box after getting o
n the bus.
Traveler: Will it cost for the transfer?
Driver: Yes. When you get on the transfer bus,
just show the bus driver the ticket stub. You will
only have to pay ten more cents for yourself and a
nickel2 for your child.
Traveler: It's good.
Driver: You can take a seat now. And when you're
ready to get off, remember to press the button near
your seat.
Traveler: Then how far ahead of time do I need to
ring the bell for you to stop the bus?
Driver: One minute is OK.

司机：不经过。但是你可以搭这班车到第一街转乘二十四路汽车到达那里。

司机：现在你找个座位坐下吧。当你要下车的时候别忘了按你座位旁的按钮。
