使用各种不同交通手段的出行人数的波动变化表明了社会的快速发展。并且，充分使用交通工具可以满足人们生活的快节奏，这一点可以从乘飞机人数的增多和乘火车人数的减少的事实中体现出来。

在机场，你应该核实每一件行李是否都有一个行李签，核实你托运的每一件行李是否都有一张收据。你的每个提包的内外都应各有一张写着你的名字、目的地和家庭住址的标签。至于超重的行李，你得付行李超重费。行李检查完毕后，便会被送到目的地。
安全检查在机场是司空见惯的，通常包括走过金属探测器和检查随身携带的行李。你必须出示机票和登机牌，而且为方便检查，你需要取出袋中的金属物。 2坐火车 2By Train2By Train 坐火车

英美的火车
在美国，铁路干线班次很少，长途火车更是屈指可数，主要是在连接波士顿、纽约、费城、巴尔的摩和哥伦比亚特区华盛顿的东北走廊一带，人们才乘火车旅行。
英美等国的火车也有快车(express)和慢车(local)之分。火车上的所有座位分头等(club car)和二等(coach)，均实行预订。长途火车上有卧铺(berth)，一般只有床，还有一种高级的车厢叫pullman car，里面有单独隔开的小房间(roomette)，配有各种起居用具和工作设备。

国外的公共汽车
国外的公共汽车种类繁多，如郊区公共汽车(shuttle bus)、小区公共汽车(local bus)、市内公共汽车(city bus)、高速公共汽车(express bus)、机场公共汽车(airport express bus)等。在美国公共汽车运行于城市中或郊区附近，有的美国人除了学生时期乘坐校车(school bus) 以外，平生没有乘坐过公共汽车。大众交通手段的公共汽车没有很好地被利用。长途高速公共汽车到现在为止还是由Greyhound 公司垄断经营着，因此也可以用Take the Greyhound 来表达。
公共汽车停车场不叫做bus station，而叫做bus stop。我们所说的公车汽车站叫做bus station。旅游汽车叫做charted bus。原来charted bus是指全价公共汽车，因为团体旅游的人们乘坐的汽车是付全价的，所以叫做charted bus。

关于在美国乘出租车
出租车用英语叫做：taxi、cab、taxicab等。在我们国家有在街上拦的出租车和电话叫的两种。在美国除了纽约等大城市以外都是电话叫的出租车。叫出租车的说法是：call a cab。在街上拦出租车的说法是：catch a cab或者flag down a taxi。
乘客坐上出租车，司机一般会问：Where to？ 或者Where are you going， sir / ma am？ 那么，乘客(passenger) 就要回答目的地(destination)， 如：Airport， please.来到目的地附近的准确位置下车的表达为：Can you pull over at the corner？ 或者说：You can let me off at the light.或者说：Drop me off in front of the bank， please.
在国外出租车价钱以meter 计算。但是，一定要给小费。大概以费用的10%～20%来支付。并且，在国外看不到合乘的现象。所以英语也没有相应的表达。一定要造出这句话就是：Share a ride with another passenger。公共汽车专用线，有乘坐两人以上的汽车走的专用线(carpool lane)。如果违反交通规则处以约250美元的罚款，因此都比较遵守交通规则。
几乎在每一个城市中，旅游者都会发现出租车是价格最贵的交通方式。以下几点建议供你在乘车前或乘车时参考：
1.除非携带大量行李或身体欠安而不能乘公共交通工具，否则尽量避免乘坐出租车。
2.您的确要打车的话，上车时要确定司机重新打计价器。
3. 在司机按下计价器前，要确保计价器显示为零。原因十分明显，当司机按下计价器时，别人上次乘车费用仍然显示在表上，计价器会继续工作，使计费增加。
4. 记下出租车牌号，以便投诉司机的劣质服务或欺骗行为。乘船

通关时的简单英语
通关时英语并不复杂，但许多人面对海关人员(Customs inspector)时都感到手足无措。其实，任何一国的海关人员一般都是很友好的。只要按照他的要求行事，不会遇到什么麻烦。并且通过海关时的英语也不复杂，只要理解并记住：duty(税)、dutiable(要交税的)和dutyfree(免税的)、declare(申报)等几个关键词，基本上就可以和海关人员对话了。
