Spoken IELTS Part One: Transportation

Traffic is a very common question in the IELTS speaking test. Because it is a part of our daily life, it is not difficult. Generally speaking, there are four modes of transportation in cities: buses, taxis, subways, and private cars. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. Buses are relatively cheap, and there is a bus lane. It is comfortable in traffic jams, but it is easy to be crowded, and it is not very punctual. Taxis have good privacy and comfort, but they are expensive. The subway article comes from the old roast duck IELTS, which is convenient and fast.
