Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of
the following questions.
In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and simply a necessity. This public
means of transportation is often convenient when you live or work in the
city centre, as you can avoid traffic jams by moving very quickly in the
bus lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. After all, though, taking
the bus is just a necessary and tedious part of life: you board the bus,
pay the driver and sit down or find a place to stand. Very boring.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, long-
distance buses put on films so that you have entertainment for at least
some of the journey. Naturally, local transport does not show films but
drivers usually switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear
new songs and new styles of music. Therefore, taking the bus doesn’t
sound like fun but it is much more exciting than any UK bus journey.
