In contrast, a bus appears very plain.2. Why do you think people would choose to travel by aeroplane rather than by ship?There are two reasons. First, air travel is quicker. Businessmen who value time regularly travel by aeroplane because of its speed. Second, travelling by plane is more comfortable than by ship. With the improvement of technology, many airline companies offer excellent services at a reasonable price.Different types of transport can meet different customers’ needs.

…Transport and Weather Weather conditions have a strong influence on transport. It is very important that drivers are aware of weather conditions such as wind, rain or a typhoon. Ship captains need to know about wave conditions. Airplane pilots want to know about the condition of the atmosphere. Automobile drivers and railroad engineers have to know if rain or snow is going to fall. Without correct, timely weather information, transportation equipment cannot be safely operated. That's why operators of such equipment and passengers may pay very close attention to weather reports. How would you like to go to the places?Situation 1: from Shanghai to London
