| England has a very well-developed transportation system. The different modes of transportation include: Local Transportation Cities in England generally have excellent public bus systems as well as underground rail services in the bigger cities. Passes for these services are relatively cheap. There are also two kinds of taxis in England: the black cabs which are metered and can be summoned in the street, and minicabs which are cheaper and reserved by phone.
Long-distance Transportation: Long-distance buses (called coaches in England) are usually the cheapest mode of long-distance transportation, but can also be the slowest. Transportation by train is often faster and more comfortable but can cost a bit more. Train tickets can be purchased ahead of time online (best for longer trips) or on the spot at train stations (good for shorter trips). On the trains there is usually a standard class and a more expensive first class |
