# Which bus goes to Minute Maid Park?
--Hey, I'm new to this town. Would you tell me which bus takes me to Minute Maid park?
--Sure. You can take Route 23B or 34B, whichever one comes first.
--Are these direct lines or might I need to change elsewhere?
--No. Both of these buses are direct.
--That'd be great. When can I expect them?
--24B should be here in a few minutes.
--Thanks for your help. I hope I didn't take too much of your time.
--That's okay. We all need help sometimes.
# What is the fare?
--Where do you want to go?
--I wanna go to Rocksprings. What is the fare for that route?
--It's $1.
--That's pretty high. Last time I visited Dallas, it was 50 cents for the same route.
--Yup, but there was a hike in the rates fairly recently. Now it's one dollar.
# Do you have change?
--How much is the fare to Rodeland?
--It's 60 cents.
--I'm afraid I don't have any change. Could you break a 5?
--Sure thing!
--Thank you so much.
# booking the tickets in advance
--What do you think would be the best way to travel to Rockshire?
--I think the bus would be cheapest. And I'm pretty sure you'll get the booking and you'll get there pretty early.
--Okay. Can I book the bus tickets online?
--Yep, you can book your booking at bookyourbus.com.
--Thank you. I'll book the bus tickets online.
--No problem. Have a safe trip.
