 Have you got a car? Why do you like it?
 What are the most popular means of transport in Hungary?

Iif you want to travel long distances you can choose several means of transport. in the
picture I can see trains, planes but coaches are good too.

Advantages of trains or railways are : you can walk on the trains .it ’s faster than coaches.
Its disadvantages are:-They are often dirty. –They are often late. I have never travelled by plane but
they are fast and comfortable. You can get meals and drinks. Its disadvantage is that a flight is usually
expensive .

I usually travel by train if I have to. In Hungary it ’s difficult to travel by train because you
have to go first to Budapest.
