Today we will learn how to buy a ticket for public transportation.
Cómo comprar un boleto para el transporte público.It's terrible to be stuck in a situation where you feel you are not able to ask the right questions to get to your destination.Last lesson we learned how to compliment someone and give that person a confidence boost. This lesson will provide you with the tools to feel confident anytime you need to engage in a conversation to buy a ticket for public transportation.
¿Qué tipos de transporte público conoces?What kind of public transportation do you know?
- Tren - train
- Autobus - bus
- Metro - subway
Here is a useful phrase: ¿Cuándo es el próximo tren/camión a la ciudad de México?(When is the next train/bus to Mexico city?)After you've asked when and where you want to go, the next question would be to ask how much it costs, right?Do you remember this from a previous lesson?The one where we went shopping?I hope you do! We use the same structure to ask for the cost of transportation tickets: ¿Cuánto cuesta?Let's take a look at a conversation at a train station: -¿Cuándo es el próximo tren a Madrid? -A las nueve y media -Y, ¿cuánto cuesta? -10 euros -¿Cuánto tiempo dura? - 2 horas aproximadamenteThere is a new question in that conversation that we haven't heard before, can you identify it? -¿Cuándo es el próximo tren a Madrid? -¿Cuánto cuesta? ¿Cuánto tiempo dura? ¡Muy bien!The new question is: ¿cuánto tiempo dura? How much time does it take?In this case, it takes approximately two hours.I'm so happy! Now you can purchase a ticket for public transport and move around the city or between cities!Thank you for joining me today and I'm looking forward to seeing you in our next lesson!
