How do people in your country get around on a daily basis? What kinds of transportation do they use — their own cars, or mostly public transit?

In my neighborhood, there are various options for public transportation. Firstly, let's talk about the subway. The subway is the most widely used mode of public transportation in Seoul. People prefer it because it helps them save a significant amount of time. Additionally, we have a well-organized bus system in our area that practically covers every destination. However, there are times when it becomes quite crowded. Lastly, taxis are commonly taken by people. Unfortunately, we don't have Uber in Korea, so it can be a bit challenging to find a taxi late at night. Nonetheless, taxis remain the most convenient form of public transportation. So, that's pretty much the overview.

저희 동네에는 다양한 대중교통 수단이 있어요. 먼저 지하철 얘기를 해볼게요. 지하철은 서울에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 대중교통이에요. 시간을 상당히 아낄 수 있어서 사람들이 선호하죠. 그리고 저희 지역에는 버스 시스템이 잘 정비돼 있어서 사실상 모든 목적지를 커버해요. 다만 가끔 꽤 붐빌 때가 있죠. 마지막으로, 사람들이 택시도 많이 타요. 아쉽게도 한국에는 우버가 없어서 늦은 밤에 택시 잡기가 좀 어려울 수 있어요. 그래도 택시는 여전히 가장 편한 대중교통이죠. 대략 이 정도예요.

What transportation options exist where you live? Which do you usually take on weekdays, and does that change on weekends?

Well, it's not too different from other cities. I mainly use the bus, taxi, and subway. I'd say I mostly rely on the subway, not necessarily because I prefer it, but it's the quickest and most economical way to travel.

Sometimes, especially on sunny days, I opt for the bus. The cityscape is more enjoyable from the bus, and it's quite refreshing to take in the view on a sunny day.

During the weekends, I often drive my own car. With fewer people commuting to work, there's less traffic, making it enjoyable to cruise around the town.

So, my go-to modes of transportation include the bus, subway, and my own car. How about you?

음, 다른 도시들이랑 크게 다르지 않아요. 저는 주로 버스, 택시, 지하철을 이용해요. 지하철에 제일 많이 의존한다고 할 수 있는데, 딱히 좋아해서라기보다는 가장 빠르고 경제적인 이동 수단이라서요.

가끔은, 특히 화창한 날에는 버스를 골라 타요. 버스에서 보는 도시 풍경이 더 즐겁고, 맑은 날 경치를 감상하는 게 꽤 상쾌하거든요.

주말에는 자주 제 차를 몰아요. 출근하는 사람이 적어서 차가 안 막히니까 시내를 드라이브하는 게 즐거워요.

그래서 제 주력 교통수단은 버스, 지하철, 그리고 제 차예요. 당신은요?

Tell me about a recent time you took a different form of transportation than usual. Was it your first time trying it — and if so, did you enjoy the change? Roughly when was this, where were you headed, and what did you do when you arrived?

Okay, I can tell you about when I started riding my bike.

Before, I didn't really like biking because I didn't want to sweat and thought it was risky. So, I usually drove or took the bus to work. But not moving much made me gain weight. A friend told me to bike to work for exercise. So, I got a bike from a shop.

That's when I began biking to work, and in three months, I lost about 10kg. At first, it was tough, but it was worth it.

So, that's the last time I tried a different way of getting around. How about you? Have you used a different kind of public transportation before?

좋아요, 자전거를 타기 시작했을 때 얘기를 해볼게요.

예전에는 자전거를 별로 안 좋아했어요. 땀 흘리기 싫었고 위험하다고 생각했거든요. 그래서 보통 차를 몰거나 버스로 출근했어요. 그런데 몸을 잘 안 움직이니까 살이 쪘어요. 친구가 운동 삼아 자전거로 출근해 보라고 하더라고요. 그래서 자전거 가게에서 한 대 샀죠.

그때부터 자전거 출근을 시작했고, 3개월 만에 10kg 정도를 뺐어요. 처음엔 힘들었지만 그럴 가치가 있었죠.

이게 제가 마지막으로 새로운 이동 수단을 시도해 본 경험이에요. 당신은요? 색다른 대중교통을 이용해 본 적 있나요?
