Hello there, how can I help you today?
Hello, I need to get to New York City by 5 p.m.
tonight.
Is there a train that can get me there?
Yes, we have a train leaving in 30 minutes that will get you there at 2 45 p.m.
Or if you prefer to leave later, we have an express train that leaves at 3 p.m.
and arrives at 4 55 p.m.
I think I'll take the earlier option.
I'd rather leave early and be relaxed than leave later and be worried that I might be late.
I have an important meeting at 5, and I cannot miss it.
I completely understand.
I'm the same way.
Would you like to book that ticket now?
Sure.
Would you like a one-way ticket or a round-trip ticket?
Just a one-way ticket for now.
I'm not sure when I'll be heading back home.
First class or second class?
How much does each ticket cost?
First class costs $100, but it includes a meal and a drink.
Second class costs $50.
I'll take a second class ticket.
I'll just grab a sandwich and a soda before I board the train.
Sounds like a good plan.
Would you prefer a window seat or an aisle seat?
An aisle, please.
Perfect!
Here is your ticket.
You'll leave from Platform 6.
Make sure you're there 15 minutes before departure.
Where is Platform 6?
Go past the bookstore and turn right.
You'll see a kiosk selling magazines.
Go past the kiosk and you'll see a sign for Platform 6-10.
Follow that sign and you'll arrive at your platform.
Thank you.
Have a great trip and good luck with your meeting.
Thanks.
Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me.
Sure, how can I help?
I'm not from the city, and I'm trying to use the bus system for the first time.
Well, welcome to the great city of Chicago.
And I can definitely help you navigate the bus routes.
Where are you heading?
My plan for today is to visit the Modern Art Museum, stop at the zoo, and then eat dinner downtown.
That sounds like a fun day.
You should probably get a 24-hour bus pass for unlimited bus rides.
That way you can stop and explore as much as you want in each neighborhood for the entire day.
That sounds great!
A lot of tourists prefer this option.
It's a good deal, too.
Instead of paying $2 per bus ride, you can pay $8 and ride all day.
Perfect!
That's what I'll do then.
Here is $8.
And here is your 24-hour bus pass.
Just show it to the driver each time you board the bus.
And where should I catch the bus to start?
There is a number 5 bus that stops in front of this station.
How often does it stop?
It stops here pretty often, usually about every 10 minutes.
And will it take me to the museum?
Yes, let me get you a map.
Yes, thank you.
A map would be wonderful.
So you can see that our station is here.
You're heading to the museum, which is here, on the east end of the city.
You will board the number 5 bus and it will take you to a stop in front of the museum.
The name of the stop is Modern Art.
And when I leave the museum, is there a bus to the zoo?
Yes, you'll go back to the Modern Art stop and look for the number 33 bus to stop.
Get on this bus, go four stops, and you'll be at the zoo.
Wonderful!
And to get from the zoo to downtown for dinner?
You'll want to catch the number 8 bus and get off at the stop called Restaurant Row.
This will give you all kinds of dining options for dinner.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate all of your help.
My pleasure.
Good luck navigating.
And if you have any questions, feel free to ask your driver as you board the bus.
They are very helpful.
I will.
Thank you.
Hi, I need to get to the airport.
Do you have a direct line to the airport?
We don't, but you can easily get there by making just one transfer.
You take line 10 to South Street.
Then you change to line 8 and ride it all the way to Dayton International Airport.
How long does the ride take?
It takes about 10 minutes to get to South Street.
and the Line 8 ride takes about 35 minutes.
How much is the ticket?
It is $8.75.
Can I pay with credit card?
Of course.
Here you go.
Thank you.
I just need your signature.
There you go.
Perfect.
Here is your ticket.
Thanks.
Where do I catch Line 10?
There's a yellow sign over there.
Can you see it?
Yes, I can.
The yellow sign will lead you to line 10.
Great.
Thanks for your help.
No problem.
Happy to help.
Where are you heading today?
To the Hilton Hotel.
The one on 21st Street or the one on Main Street?
The one on 21st Street.
Are you in town for business or is this a vacation?
A little bit of both.
I have a meeting for work, but I also have time to relax and enjoy the city for a few days.
That's nice.
Have you been here before?
I visited here with my family when I was 10 years old, but that was a long time ago.
Yep.
A lot has changed since then.
Any recommendations for restaurants I should try?
I always like to eat at the local favorites when I'm in a new town.
My favorite is Nathan's Diner on Elm Street.
They have the best cheeseburgers.
Sounds delicious.
I'll give it a try.
Here we are.
The Hilton Hotel.
This is the newest hotel in the city.
I've heard it's a great place to stay.
It looks very nice.
Thanks for the ride.
What do I owe you?
That'll be $40.
Here's $50.
Keep the change.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
