Mark: Hmm, I’m not too sure, but I think the next one leaves tomorrow at 8:00 pm. Bob: What!? I can’t wait that long! What time is the next bus? Mark: It should go by in about two hours. It leaves the bus station at about 5:30 pm. Bob: Well, I don’t know. Isn’t there any other option? Mark: You could take a taxi... Bob: What’s faster, the bus or the taxi? Mark: The taxi, of course! All you have to do is to call and ask for a taxi and it will come right away. Bob: Well yes, you’re right, but which is the cheapest one? Mark: The cheapest means of transportation I know of is the subway. Bob: Yeah, but when have you ever seen a subway here in Connecticut? Mark: You’re right. But anyways, why don’t you just go walking? It’s only like 25 minutes away from here. Bob: Hey, yeah. You’re absolutely right. Thanks for your help.
