Exercise: Recite aloud the following dialogue. Switch
characters.
Tourist: Excuse me, I just got here. Which way is the beach?
Bus
Driver: The beach is west, just
take the Santa Monica Rapid 704 or the Metro local number 4 or head away from
downtown.
Tourist: How do I get to Hollywood from here at the Greyhound
bus stop downtown?
Bus
Driver: Well you can take any
Metro bus from this stop to the Metro rail red line then take that north, it
goes through Hollywood on its way to Universal Studios.
Tourist: How do we get to the Hollywood bowl?
Bus
Driver: You can take the red line
to Hollywood/Highland, and then take a free shuttle. Or it’s the number 222
local from West Hills, Burbank or Hollywood or the number 156 local from San
Fernando or L.A.
Tourist: How much does it cost?
Bus
Driver: It costs, $1.75 per ride
or seven dollars and fifty cents for a one-day unlimited pass. We use tap cards
here.
Tourist: Is that where the Chinese Mann’s theatre is with the
footprints?
Bus Driver: Yes, just down the block on Hollywood
Blvd. How long are you here for?
Tourist: Two weeks.
Bus
Driver: Then you should buy a one
week pass and get a plastic tap card. It costs 2 dollars but you can buy one
week unlimited for twenty-five dollars or a 30 day for $100(one-hundred
dollars).
Tourist: What do I get for that?
Bus
Driver: You can take the Metro
Rapid, or any Metro rail lines. There might be some extra zone charges
occasionally so it’s good to carry some cash or change.
Tourist: Hey thanks.
Bus Driver: Here it comes. There are maps and schedules on the bus. Be
careful, too.
Tourist: Thanks, for your help.
Bus
Driver: Have a great day.
