Karl: Do you have to buy your bus ticket in a shop? Julia: No, this is a special ticket. A one-day ticket. You can use it on the buses and on the underground. Karl: Er… What do I do with this ticket? Julia: What do you mean? Karl: Well, does the driver stamp it? Do I put it into a machine? Or…what? Julia: Oh, no. Just show it to the driver when you get on the bus. That’s all. Karl: How do we get to the museum? Julia: First we go by bus and then we go by tube. Karl: The tube? What’s that? You buy toothpaste in tubes. Julia: The tube is another word for the underground. Karl: What is this? Julia: It’s your ticket. Karl: How much does it cost? Julia: Oh, no. Karl: Are you sure? Julia: Yes, Karl.  Karl: Thank you very much. What do I do with this ticket? Julia: What do you mean? Karl: Well, does the driver stamp it. Do I put it into a machine? Or what? Julia: Oh, no just show it to the driver when you get on the bus. That’s all. Karl: How far is it from the station to the museum? Julia: Oh, not far. Half a kilometre. Karl: And how long does it take? Julia: From Holborn station? Karl: No. From here. The whole journey. Julia: About three quarters of an hour. Fifty minutes. Karl: In Munich I go everywhere by tram. Are there trams in London? Julia: No. Karl: How often do these buses run? Julia: Every ten minutes. Karl: Come on, Julia. Let’s get a taxi. Julia: Karl, taxis are expensive. And you can still use your one-day ticket. Karl: But it’s not far to the hotel. It won’t cost much. Taxi!
