And it's the same when it's raining. It's really unpleasant(=not nice) to ride on a rainy day. You'll
get splashed by cars and you'll end up soaked(=drenched
=
all wet)
.
2. What different forms of transport are there in your area
?
In terms of public transport, you can take the bus, or pay for a taxi. Some motorbikes can also
take you wherever you want for a small sum of money. A lot of people in my city drive their own
car nowadays
.
That wasn't the case five years ago. The government is building a subway too. But I
don't know how long it will be before it opens to the public.
3. How might technological advances change transport in the future?
Well, I guess that buses and trains will go even faster in the future
.
This past year, they
opened a new high-speed railway from Fuzhou to Shanghai, and the new train (called the Bullet
Train) can go up to 300 kilometers an hour. It is pretty cool because passengers can reach their
destination much faster than in the past, and the price is also very reasonable. I suppose that in the
future, people will fly more frequently, and who knows, more people might even have their own
private planes and jets, just like we have our private cars at the moment.
