SECTION 1
MAN: Hello, this is City Airport Information. How can I help you?
WOMAN: Oh, hi, good morning. I'm going to fly to City Airport in London next week. It's my first time there.Could you tell me how can I get to Pudding Mill Lane from the air port?
MAN: Pudding Mill Lane? It's quite easy.There are a couple of ways to get there.The fastest and most convenient way is to take DLR.
WOMAN: DLR? What's that?
MAN: It's short for "Docklands Light Railway." Actually, it it an overground system connecting East London to the London Underground network.
WOMAM:That sounds nice. How often does the DLR depart from airport station?
MAM: About every 8 to 15 minutes. You only need to make a transferring stop at Stratford and you will be there after another station. Of course, there always will be other option to get you there. For example, you may rent a car right here at the airport.
WOMAN: Well. I don't have a valid driver's license.
MAN: In that case, you could also take airport shuttle or train. Or, you can ask a favor from your friend. Do you have a friend or relative nearby? Because you may ask I them to pick you up at the forecourt, next to the terminal building.
WOMAN:Let me think if it is worth troubling my friend...
MAN: If so, their cars are not allowed to wait at the entrance without being unattended.
WOMAN: No. I don't thinking my friend is going to be available on that day.So,I am thinking of maybe taking a cab...
MAN:That works as well.There are plenty available,but it will cost you.There are two major cabs that are running in London:black cab and mini cab.I think you need mini cab.
WOMAN:OK.But I know nothing about the systems cabs are working under.What should I do?
