27. Shuttle Bus at the Airport



1.

A: Is this where I catch the Super Shuttle?

B: Yes, this is where you catch the Super Shuttle. Where are you headed?

A: I am headed home to Pasadena.

B: You can tell where each van is headed by the name on the front of the van. I am the driver for Glendale, but your van should be along in a minute.

A: Do you know how much it costs to get to Pasadena?

B: I believe the cost of that trip is sixty dollars.

A: Do you know if the shuttle goes directly to Pasadena, or does it make a lot of stops?

B: Before you pay the driver, you need to ask him. He needs to be upfront with you about the number of stops he will be making.

A: Do I need to have exact change?

B: You don't need exact change, but it is useful to have smaller bills.

B: You are in the right place to catch the Super Shuttle. What is your destination?

A: How much does a trip to Pasadena cost?

B: If I remember correctly, that trip costs sixty dollars.

A: I am hoping that this shuttle goes straight to my city without making a bunch of stops.

B: Always ask the driver how many stops he plans to make before you pay him.

A: If I have large bills, should I break them while I am waiting?

3.

A: What is the price of a shuttle trip to Pasadena?

B: The trip to Pasadena costs sixty dollars.

A: What should I pay the driver with?

B: There is an ATM machine over by that wall. It is best if you have bills close to the amount that you will owe.
