TEXT 1. TRANSPORT IN BRITAIN As in the rest of Western Europe in recent years there has been a large increase in the use of private cars. During the same period travel by bus and coach fell from 25 per cent to 10 per cent of all transport and rail travel fell from 15 per cent to just over 7 per cent. Britain, where the first railways were introduced, now has a declining rail system compared to other European countries: the Germans, the Italians and the French all travel by trains much more than the British. Britain also has the most expensive system of rail passenger travel in the European Community. Although the railways remained nationalized during the 1980s, the organization of bus and couch transport changed. Smaller buses appeared in towns and cities and there was more competition between
companies. As a result of better service and cheaper prices, the number of passengers travelling long distances by bus or coach began
to increase again. Br i tain started building motorways in the 1960s and there is a sophisticated system of major roads. However , the increase in cars and lorries, particularly in and around London and on the motorways, has caused a number of problems, with long-distance travellers. TEXT 2. ON THE BUSES Omnibuses were introduced to London in 1829. These carriages were pulled by horses and because there were no bus-stops they stopped wherever you wanted them to — and on either side of the road. At first they only carried about twelve people who all sat inside, but Inter seats were put on the roof and the first double-decker buses were created. The faults in the design became obvious and caused a public scandal when in 1906 a long-distance bus lost control going downhill — ten people were swept off the top deck by overhanging trees and killed. Horse-drawn vehicles were still in use many years after the invention
of the motor. In 1896 the Act of
this, the few people who actually owned cars drove down to Brighton at the new speed This London-to-Brighton rally of fine old veteran cars still takes place each November. Before London Transport was formed in 1933 to organize all the
buses as well as underground trains, there were many private bus companies. Each company had a different colour for its buses, which also helped the public to know where it was going. Nowadays all London buses are red except the single-decker green buses which go out into the country. Since
then buses have been modernized in many ways. The main improvement is that they are lower so they have roofs (although it is impossible for a tall man to stand upstairs). The old open double-deckers are still sometimes used as a tourist attraction, for cutting the branches of high trees. TEXT 3.
There are three ways to get from city to city without a car. In some
places you can take Amtrak, the national passenger rail service. Or you can take a bus. Greyhound and Trailways are the largest long distance coach companies, and both of them offer monthly passes. And, of course, you can fly. There are dozens of airlines, both regional and national. Getting around a city on public transportation is generally not as easy as it is in most other countries, but it is possible. Only a few cities have subways, but most towns of 50,000 or more have some kind of city bus service. If you can ' t get where you want to by bus or subway , you can always take a cab. In many cities it is almost impossible to stop a cab on the street. It ' s easier to call a taxi company listed in the Yellow Pages and ask them to send a cab to your door. The meter will show the
amount you have to pay. The driver will usually expect a tip of at least 10% .
THINGS TO DO 1 . Read Texts 1-3 and make up a list of verbs (nouns) to describe city transport. 2. Render Texts 1-3 TEXT 4.
Read the Text and say what the advantages buying travel cards are, what you are to do to buy them, how they differ from travelcards in your country. In Britain travelcard is a special ticket to ride cheaply on buses and trains in one certain country. It can be used on all passenger transport and most bus services within the country. It is also valid on local and Inter-City train services within the country at no extra cost. You
can hop on and off a bus and train as many times as you like with travelcard. And, of course, with travelcard you don
' t need to worry about having the right change. The more you use it, the cheaper it becomes. Even
travel 10 miles to work each day , coming with a travelcard could cost you as little as 4p a mile. Compare that with AA motoring mileage costs of 25p, or if you base it on petrol and parking alone, l0p, a mile. And think of the rush hour jams, the frustration and the parking charges you ' ll
avoid. Don ' t forget many of our local rail stations have free “park-and-ride” car parks. Just sit on a train or bus, read your paper and arrive relaxed .
If
you want to get a travelcard you must complete the form and take to Travel Centre. (For 16-18 year olds in full-time education — ask at Travel Centres for a separate form). Be sure and bring a passport size colour photograph of yourself. Once you have a Photocard, your Travelcard can be renewed at any Travel Centre. TEXT 5. THE PROBLEMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT
However crowded the roads are, British car owners usually find a reason not to switch to public transport. The buses are too slow, or the trains are too expensive, or no public services actually take them where they want to go. In many cases, these are just the excuses of people who really want to sit in their own cars with the radio on, and who blame others for creating the traffic jams. But there is also some truth in their criticisms. There has been a serious lack of government investment in transport, with predictable consequences. An interesting example is that of the London Underground. The Tube, as Londoners call it, started in 1863 as the first underground line in the world, and is still the longest, with over 400 kilometres of lines. When it is working well, it is extremely quick and efficient. But those who use it every day complain of terrible delays when things go wrong. The electrical engineering is old, and it breaks down frequently. In 1987, 30 people died in a fire at King's Cross station. Since then a lot of money has been spent on safety, and the record has been good. But reliability has not improved. Successive governments have simply failed to invest the huge sums of money, which would be needed to bring the Tube up to 21st century standards. The London Underground is one of the only parts of the transport system, which is still in the hands of the state. The Conservative Government in the 1980s and 90s thought that the problems of underinvestment could be solved by privatisation. Buses outside London, and the whole of the railway system, passed into private ownership. The idea was that, with profits to be made, private finance would come in and rebuild the system. So far, however, the results have been disappointing. Public use of buses has continued to decline. Train fares are so high that they deter passengers, and in most parts of the country trains are less reliable now than before. One particular failure has been a cause of considerable embarrassment to the British since the opening of the Channel Tunnel. Eurostar trains from Paris travel at up to 300 kilometres per hour in France, but have to slow down to 80 kilometres per hour once in Britain because the high- speed line has not yet been built. Parliament only made the decision to build the line after the tunnel had opened. This sad story seems to symbolise all the country's transport problems. The government has recently started talking about the ultimate solution to the problems — an integrated
transport system. This means improving public services and making sure that they all work together, as a system, rather than a series of disconnected parts. At present, if you need to take a train, a bus and a ferry for your journey, you will often find that the bus station is kilometres away from the train station, and the bus timetable does not match the ferry timetable. You end up taking taxis between stations, and spending hours sitting in waiting room; In many parts of the country, trains and buses compete with each other on one route, while another route has no service at all. An integrated transport system is urgently needed to address all these problems. But it will take a great deal of time, money and political will to achieve such a system.
