Race across London
Which is faster – public transport, cycling or driving? In this week’s Travel Challenge three
reporters travel across London in a race to be the fi rst person to the London Barrier. But whose
form of transport is 1BETTER (good)?

Alfi e: I’m completing the challenge in my car. It’s quicker, 2 more comfortable (comfortable) and
a lot cheaper than public transport. And who says it’s 3 dirtier (dirty) than public transport? Look
at the pollution from buses!

Tessa: I know cycling is 4 lower (slow) than

the other two on a clear road but London has a lot of tra- c and it’s 5 busier (busy) in the

rush hour when we’re racing. The quickest form of transport isn’t important in these conditions –
it’s the smartest way to travel. Unfortunately, it’s also 6 more dangerus

(dangerous) than the others.

Troy: I need to think quicker than the others and get my times right. I’m using public transport so
missing a bus or tube is a 7 bigger (big) problem than the traffc for me.
