Hi everyone!
The red double-decker buses are one of the most specials things in London.
If you are a tourist, for sure you will take a picture of it! But if you are a Londoner, red double-decker buses are just your usual transport.
There are approximately 8.600 iconic red buses carrying more than six millions (6.000.000!!!) passengers each weekday and there are 19.500 bus stops in the capital… Amazing, isn’t it?
When I first arrived at London I thought that it would be very difficult to move around the city by bus. But, believe me, it’s really easy and cheaper than the tube!
Getting on the upper deck is the most exciting, funniest way to see London.
The London bus fares are:
Cash (single fare) £2.40
Oyster (single fare) £1.45
Daily price cap £4.40
Children under the age of 15 can travel for free on London buses (the driver could require them a valid photocard).
Finally, the extra-point value question:
If you come to London how much will you pay for taking the bus???
Vocabulary:
Iconic: person or thing that is a symbol. Sagrada Familia is an iconic monument in Barcelona.
Weekday: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Weekend: Saturday and Sunday
Fare: the sum paid for travelling in a bus, train, plane, taxi…
Oyster: name of the travel card for London transports.
Daily price cap: the maximum price you pay in a day.
Kisses from London

Hello dear boys and girls of the school Joan Salvat Papasseit!
As you probably know, I’m now living in London. It’s a very interesting city full of curiosities that I would enjoy sharing with you. Then, I would like you send me comments, questions, opinions… in English of course!
So…let’s go!
Let me start with some facts about this city:
# Romans called London “Londinium”.
# London is the biggest city in Europe.
# The River Thames flows through London.
# The London underground (“the tube”) is the oldest in the world, it works since 1863!
# Over 250 languages are spoken in the town. The most common are (in this order):
English, Bengali, Panjabi, Gujerati, Hindi/Urdu…
# You have to pay for everything with pounds (£)… Leave euros (€) at home!
# When you come…bring an umbrella!
Finally, one question… the answer gives you an extra-point!
WHAT COLOUR ARE BUSES, MAIL BOXES and TELEPHONE BOXES in London???
I’m looking forward to receiving your answers!
See you soon!
Pili
