Read the descriptions and choose the correct adjectives from the list that have the same meaning.

Good luck, guys!

Now use these words and your own to describe your experiences with transport in your area. How do you travel around your town? Do you have good public transport? What are the roads/traffic like?

Transport

I liked this kind of activity very much!!!

Every day I get to work on public transport, so called "marshrutka" (sort of share taxi). It's horrible! It's always crowded and uncomfortable, traffic jam and bad roads (one of the well-known Russian and Ukrainian problem Smile ). When you eventually get out of it, you feel devastated and fed up.
But even if you have a car it doesn't solve the problem, because of "oversaturation" of cars. Lviv is an old historic town with narrow streets and block pavement.

I've noticed 2 issues:
1) In 4 you need to put full stop after adjective to pass checking engine.
2) In 9 the correct word is "uncomfortable", but it doesn't make sense because of "not" in the sentence.

Thank you, Sebastian and Chris, for an interesting topic.

Publiс transport.

In my city St.Petersberg the public transport is uncomfortable especially in rush hours when buses and other means of public transport are crowded with people. On the roads plenty of traffic jams and the roads themselves in many parts are in bad condition.
By the way, Chris I noticed that in 9 must be s at the end of the word seat.

In the İstanbul, If I'm in

In the İstanbul, If I'm in the European side, I generally use the subway or the tram in order to avoid traffic jam.. In the Asian side there is no a subway, so using a bus or a taxi is more common.. When I across to European side to Asian side or Asian side to European side, I always prefer ferryboats.. It's so cheerful..
