IELTS Speaking Sample Answer # Transport

Transportation is a very common topic in IELTS speaking and one is more likely to be asked. So, let us have a look at some of the sample questions and the possible answers related to transportation.

How did you get here?

I came here on my bicycle.

What is your favorite mode of transportation?

I love riding bicycle to go from one place to another. However, bicycles has its own limitations, and one cannot travel on it for long distances. Apart from bicycle, I prefer flights for longer distances.

Do you ever use public transport?

Well, I do use public transport when I need to travel to far off places and I don’t have much time. Also, they are a better way of transportation when I am alone, as they tend to be more safer.

Do you like the public transport in your country?

I think apart from some faults here and there, the public transport is really good in my country. It is cheaper and tend to be more safe. There are lots of buses and vikrams, so one does not need to wait for a very long time for them. However, the buses and the vikrams tend to overload more people than can adjust in the bus, making them often prone to accidents. But with the strictness from the government in recent times, the situation has improved a lot.

What is the difference between taking a bus and taking a train?

There is not much difference when going for smaller distances, apart from the fact that trains tend to be more comfortable as one gets to sleep. With bus, one is stuck at one place and has to sit. However, in longer distances, trains tend to be more faster as compared to bus. IELTSBAND7
