TRANSPORT IN ENGLAND
Means of transport in England

England has a very extensive, complete and efficient public transport system that easily
communicates its main locations. Without a doubt, the best thing to do when moving
around the cities of England is to use public transport. That is why it is offered to all
students a public transport voucher that allows them to move freely throughout the city
without added costs during their stay in any of their destinations in England. However,
there are numerous possibilities to purchase cards and discount vouchers for the use of
public transport unlimited, for a day, several days or a month, depending on your needs.

Bus

The bus is a very economical means of transport and highly recommended, in addition
to being an iconic means, buses are present in all cities of England. They have diverse
lines and routes that connect the different areas of the city, being able to exist urban or
suburban buses. There are also buses for long distances and connections between towns
or cities in England, as well as reaching other parts of Britain. The English refer to them
as coaches.

Bicycle

As is happening in many places, little by little the bicycle is gaining more and more
adepts. There is no doubt that the benefits that the bicycle has for health, the
environment or even for our own pocket, make it the ideal means of transport. In
addition, the bicycle is also dedicated to leisure and there are numerous bike routes
through England with which to enjoy the surroundings of the country. In England there
are some measures that aim to encourage the use of the bike among its inhabitants. For
example, helmet use is not mandatory for children, or for adults.

Train

Trains are one of the most important means of transport in England. The railway lines
run through and connect the largest and most important cities. With prices quite
affordable, it is a very comfortable option that also allows us to enjoy the scenery.

Trolley car

Tram services were very popular in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,
although they were soon dismantled due to the popularization of motor vehicles.
However, in recent years there has been a revitalization of the service.

Meter
Although cities such as Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool have small
subway lines, where this means of transport really is in England. The metro is the oldest
in the world. Since 1863 he offers his services, which refer to him colloquially as the
Tube. Discounts can be obtained, since the normal ticket price ranges from 4 pounds to
8 pounds, depending on the area. It is a very used transport with a record of more than 3
millions commuters as it is known in English to the passengers to the day.

Taxi

As in all other cities in the world, taxis are everywhere. Most of the taxis in England are
black, although this rule is not met in the rest of the country, and are generally
somewhat expensive. In addition, it has a habit of leaving some tip and it is normal to
impose charges for holidays, excess luggage, pets or overnight trips, for you to consider
if the end of the journey they charge more than what marks the taximeter

Public transport
England has a very extensive, complete and efficient public transport system that
connects major English cities. In addition, students (schoolchildren and university
students) get discount vouchers to move to English towns.
Train
To travel by train between different cities in the United Kingdom, the cheapest way is to
buy it well in advance, to be a ticket that does not admit of return and to be able to be
outside the peak time. The prices of train tickets can vary a lot depending on the
company chosen, the date and time of the trip, the distance and, as we said before, the
advance with which the ticket is bought.
Bus
The bus is the most economical way to travel around England. The advance with which
the ticket is bought in most cases will influence the price of the ticket. Tickets are
usually bought either online or at the stations but can almost never be done directly
when getting on the bus, eye to this so as not to "stay on the ground". If what is needed
is to move within the same city you should take the urban bus, these tickets can be
bought directly on the bus.
airplane
It is not always the cheapest option to travel, but it is the fastest
option.

Environmental problems
High pollution rates and the pollution cloud, called smug, affecting England have
triggered alarms to avoid potential health risks. Air pollution is currently one of the
most severe environmental problems worldwide. It is present in all societies, regardless
of the level of socioeconomic development, and is a phenomenon that has a particular
impact on human health due to the number of vehicles that eliminate toxic gases such as
CO2 pollute the environment, so it is preferable that the country uses means of transport
that help to reduce pollution, such as bicycle, which is the most ecological, healthy and
sustainable means of transport that does not require fossil fuels, reduces noise pollution,
improves the health of both people and Cities, and saves time and money.
Vehicular congestion
The UK has an extensive public transport network, and with a population estimated at
15 million and considered as the main global financial center, has become the capital
with the largest traffic congestion in the world, according to a report by the specialized
group INRIX.
The British capital was the only one in the world that exceeded the hundred hours. It
was the first in Europe due to traffic congestion, in front of Stuttgart (73 hours a year in
traffic), Antwerp and Cologne (71), Brussels (70), Moscow (57), Karlsruhe (54),
Munich and Utrecht And Milan (52).

Problemas medioambientales
Segn Illicachi Illicachi Miguel ngel En el Ecuador la contaminacin del medio
ambiente se debe a la circulacin de Transportes pblicos y privados, en psimas
condiciones mecnicas, sumado esto el trfico vehicular, esto produce una de las
mayores cargas contaminantes hacia la atmosfera. Sus emisiones tienen efecto directo
en los problemas de contaminacin del aire tanto a escala local, regional y global y son
factores que tienden a poner en riesgo la salud de sus habitantes. Provocando

Congestin vehicular
La congestin vehicular constituye un grave problema para la sociedad ecuatoriana, este
fenmeno se ha agravado en las ltimas dcadas, y particularmente en los ltimos aos.
La congestin, en s misma, genera un costo en tiempo de movilizacin; sin embargo,
existen muchos otros problemas sociales que desencadena; uno de los ms importantes
es la contaminacin ambiental y sus efectos sobre la salud humana. No obstante, en el
pas no existen estudios que estimen lo que estos costos significan en trminos
monetarios.
En el caso de Ecuador esta congestin excesiva se evidencia desde el ao 1997;
el fenmeno ha tenido un continuo crecimiento desde 1985 que se vuelve
dramtico en la ltima dcada. Entre 1985 y el 2000 la congestin creci en un
86,56%, a una tasa promedio anual de 4,25%; mientras que entre el ao 2000 y
el 2008, la congestin aument en un 99,98%, a una tasa promedio anual de
9,05%. ( Montalvo, 2009, p.1)
