Mark: Sure, no problem! How may I help you?

Bob: When is the next train to Ansonia?

Mark: I am not sure, but I think the next one leaves tomorrow at 8 pm.

Bob: What?! I can’t wait that long! What time is the next bus?

Mark: It should go by in about two hours. It leaves the bus station at about 5.30 pm.

Bob: Well, I don’t know. Isn’t there any other option?

Mark: You could take a taxi…

Bob: What’s faster, the bus or the taxi?

Mark: The taxi, of course! All you have to do is to call and ask for a taxi and it will come right away.

Bob: You are right, but which is the cheapest one?

Mark: The cheapest means of transportation is the subway.
