M1: I travel by bus. It’s only one bus to work. It takes about 15 minutes.
W1: Bus.
M3: I get to work on the tube and I walk some of the way.
W3: About five minutes walk to the station, Waterloo station, and then I get
on a bus which takes about 20… 25 minutes.
M4: On most days I use the tube – my journey into work and my journey
home at the end of the day.
W4: Take in the fresh air, the scenery, and try and avoid holes in the road
which are quite dangerous.
M5: Well, sometimes, if it’s a bit of a quiet road, I can think about what I’m
going to do that day.
W1: I dream, usually. I just … I love journeys. I love just looking out of the
window.
M2: Well, it’s so short I don’t actually do very much at all, apart from make
sure I don’t have an accident.
M3: I like listening to music and having some time to think before work.
M1: It’s quite early in the morning, which means that the bus is always quite
quiet, so I don’t have to fight for a seat.
W4: I just like the exercise that I get from it and being outside in the open.
W2: It’s not too far. I can walk or run. It’s about quarter of an hour’s walk, so
I feel very healthy. I don’t have to catch a bus.
M3: I don’t like it when it’s very busy in the mornings and I don’t like it when
it’s hot and sweaty on the tube.
W1: It’s a very full bus. It’s packed with people because it’s the ‘work bus’.
W3: Sometimes the buses get overcrowded and a lot of people are going to
the same place.
W4: I really don’t like cycling to work when it’s raining because I get wet, all
my books get wet …
M1: In the winter it’s very cold that early in the morning and sometimes if I
miss the first bus I have to wait about 20 minutes for the next one to
come along.
W2: In winter it’s very windy coming over the bridge and it makes my eyes
water.
