In most big cities people have a wide choice of vehicles as public transport services.
Means of public transport include buses, trams, trolleybuses, and underground trains.
People travel by bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, car, taxi, camper, bus tram, trolleybus,
underground, train, plane, ship, boat, ferry, hovercraft, hydroplane, and ocean liner. I
usually go everywhere by bus. But I don't like I tat all, because buses are crowded and
they don't run as frequently as they should. If I am in a hurry, I take a taxi, but it's
expensive. In Hungary, you can get a driving license from the age of 18. Before you get it,
you first have to pass a theoretical test and a practical one.

In the theoretical part, you are asked about the Highway Code rules. If you pass this test,
you can attempt driving with the examiner sitting next to you. First, you take an
“routine exam mixed with a technical exam' including U-turns, three-point turns,
reserving into a narrow space, and other maneuvers. You certainly have to show the
examiner that you know the car's technical side, such as changing fuses or any wheel, oil
level checking or lights test, etc. Then comes the next test, called driving in or around the
town." Between the previous ones, you are expected to take a theoretical health exam too.
You will still need a health certificate to testify that there is nothing wrong with your
health that hinders you from driving. Sadly, I don't have my driving license yet. But I am
working on it. I only had a few hours left for the exam. In my opinion, public transport is
the most environmentally friendly. Because a lot of people don't use their car, it's also
cheaper. If you have a monthly ticket, you don't have to worry about buying a ticket
because monthly and weekly tickets are valid for several journeys within a particular
period of time. They are also cheaper than separate tickets. You can again buy half-yearly
and yearly tickets. If I have to advise a foreign person, I would recommend him or her
public transport. Or they can use the bicycle. The best point about cycling to work or
school is that it is cheap. It also helps you to keep fit unless there is too much smog to
breathe in on the way. It can be pretty quick because it doesn't need much space for
overtaking; there can be no parking problems. You will not get a parking ticket if it is
parked in the wrong place. The worst thing about cycling is that you are in danger if you
ride the bicycle in a busy place. It doesn't protect you from bad weather either.
What's more, if you don't lock it properly, it can easily be stolen. My favorite vehicle is a
car. Although it is not very cheap, I like driving. A car is always quick and comfortable. I
can't wait to get my driver's license.
