Have you noticed that the word "bus" has two definitions: bus and coach? What is the difference? The word bus usually refers to a bus used within the city to get to work, study, etc. Coach - intercity bus designed to travel on highways. It transports people over long distances, so sometimes it even has a toilet.
Let's try to figure out what word to call the metro in English. The word tube is widely used in the UK, while in this country the word subway refers to an underpass. And in the USA, on the contrary, they prefer to call the subway the word subway. The word metro is most popular in Europe, but can also be used in the US. The word underground is also used in different countries, but it is less common.
A list of words with types of cars will come in handy if you want to rent a car abroad: you will need to explain what kind of transport you need. So, for example, you can take a minivan (minivan) if you are traveling with a large group, or small car(compact) if you want to save on gas.
To designate the word "crossroads" we also proposed a few words. Crossroads, as a rule, means the intersection of two roads at a right angle. T-junction - the intersection of two roads in the form of the letter T. Intersection - also a crossroads, this word is widely used in the USA.

Hello dear readers! The modern world is unthinkable without vehicles. Since ancient times, people have been looking for ways to make their movement faster and easier. The vehicle has gradually evolved from horses, deer and dogs to airplanes and helicopters. Every day we are faced with at least one of the types of devices for movement - bicycles, trains, buses, cars. Therefore, the topic of transport in English is very important.
Name of vehicles in EnglishThe vehicle connects peoples, countries and continents. In the US and UK, modes of transport such as underground and surface trains, taxis, buses, airplanes and, of course, private car are very popular. They offer residents of large cities an efficient, convenient and fast way to travel. But such a vehicle as a trolley bus and tram in Western cities is rare, mainly in museums.
In addition, unlike Russian fares, in America and Britain, fares are charged for the distance. Going into public transport, the passenger tells the driver the destination, and he, in turn, punches him a ticket with the required amount. As for sea and air vehicles, everything here is the same as with us, paying for a ticket. Except the amounts are different.

By the way, despite the fact that there is a phrase in the phrase book that asks if a passenger gets off at the next stop, in Western countries it is not customary in transport to ask “Are you getting off at the next one?”. This question will only betray you as a foreigner from Russia or the CIS countries. English-speakers themselves explain it like this “we just shove”, that is, “we push the crowd away” and maybe say “excuse me”.
