Conversation practice - Find and underline the transport adjectives used in the conversation.

ALICE Hi, Steve. Sorry I’m late. It was the traffic. So how did you get here? 
STEVE On the metro, of course. 
A Really? Do you use the metro? 
S Yes, I love going on the metro, it’s so quick. It only took half an hour. Don’t you use the metro? 
A No, I don’t like using the metro, it’s so crowded. And it isn’t always very clean in the trains. And the stations, they’re terrible. So many people. 
S Oh, I love the stations. I think they’re beautiful. So did you come by car?
A Yes, of course, I go everywhere by car. I like driving in Bangkok. 
S You like it? But it’s always so slow. How long did it take you to get here? 
A About an hour, maybe. The traffic was bad. 
S But it’s always bad. I hate sitting in traffic, it’s so boring. 
A Oh, I don’t mind it, it’s not too bad. You can listen to the radio, you can chat to people.

A It is quite a nice car, yes, it’s very comfortable and big inside. 
S Ah.
