Modern means of communication
People use various means of communication to get from one place to another.
In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the place they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or by boats and ships.
Nowadays people like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of traveling. A lot of people prefer to travel by train because they can look at the passing villages, forests and fields. Some of us like going by car. You can go as slowly or fast as you like. You can stop when and where you want.
Londoners use the underground railway best of all. Their metro is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863. And in 1904 the first bus route was opened in London. Londoners don’t use trams, though London was the first city where trams appeared. When Londoners leave the town, they use trains, ships or airplanes.
