Title: The different means of transport.

Description (51)

Each country has very different traditions in different areas, such as means of transport.

England, for example, is a country that has different means of transport and different

uses according to the custom they carry. Some aspects to consider are the different

means of transport colors, their use and their price

Comparison (174)

In England, a means of transport of great importance is the train, since it is one of the

most used by the English. On the other hand, the train in Ecuador is no longer used as it

used to be, since it used to be one of the few means of transport that existed, but

nowadays different transports are used and the use of trains has been lower. Most are

only occupied with tourist purposes.

In England the buses are red and two stories. In Ecuador, however, the buses are of

different colors, depending on the cooperative to which they belong, the same applies to

taxis in England, these are black and in Ecuador they are yellow.

Something important is that in England, to be able to travel in any means of transport,

you must first acquire a public transport card, which can be reloaded depending on how
much you want. However, in Ecuador, tickets are only purchased for bus trips that last a

long time, and in short trips are paid in cash.

Reflection (119)

 What aspects of the chosen theme surprised you? (42)

Something that surprised me a lot was the fact that we have many means of transport

nowadays, which are used for different actions, all developed to facilitate the

mobilization of people and despite being different countries, they almost have the same

transports.

 Why do you think these similarities / differences cultural exist? (33)

Many of the transports are similar to those of Ecuador, they have certain variations, but

in the end they all have the same functionality, which is to transport people, which

facilitates their mobilization.

 What aspects of your own culture in relation to the chosen theme may be

different for a person from the culture or cultures of the studied object?

(44)

If someone from England read this, it could be new for that person, since there are

distinctions in the means of transport. In addition, the train is not used in Ecuador and in

England, this means of transport is one of the most important.
