2938.Getting around in Canada is fairly easy.Most cities have urban transportation systems,including buses,streetcars,and trains,and some of the larger cities also have subways. You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes.Some let you pay in cash;others require tickets.If you don't have a ticket for the bus,you must pay the right amount of money.This is because the driver doesnot carry any change.Once you get settled,you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money.You can buy subway tickets at the subway station. If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip,you do not need to pay any money each time.Simply ask the driver for a transfer,or pick one up from the machines on the subway platform. If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar,just ask someone,or follow the crowd.It's usually at the front of the bus,where you show your pass to the driver.When using public transportation,Canadians lineup. "First come,first served" is a common approach to many activities in Canada. Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit company in your area,and there may also be a telephone information line.You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where you live,and then look it up in your telephone book.
