搭捷運學英語 「一日票」怎麼說?

捷運票種 Types of Metro Tickets

正在值勤的Lily遇到一位迎面走來的國外背包客(backpacker),想詢問她捷運購票的問題。本以為對方打算購買單程票,正想引導他前往售票機走,沒想到旅客提出的卻是是否有便宜的觀光車票(travel pass)可購買,Lily一時突然當機了…

捷運票種輕鬆看

捷運票種除了一般民眾常用的悠遊卡(EasyCard)外,對於打算於台北觀光(sightseeing)的旅客來說,其實購買一日票(One-Day Pass)或24小時票(24hr Taipei Metro Pass)都是很好的選擇。不過這兩種票種都只能在車站詢問處(information counter)購買,而且也無法像悠遊卡一樣可以持續加值(add value / top up),好處則是不用押金(deposit),所以使用完畢就可以直接帶走當紀念。

任務一:看懂說明

在車站工作的Lily當然知道各種票種規定。可該怎麼用英文表達,請和Lily一起將正確的單字填入下方空格。

票種輕鬆說

要推薦乘客適合的票種,得先知道對方狀況。對觀光客(tourist)而言,除了上述講的一日票和24小時票外,還有團體票(Group Ticket)和攜帶自行車單程票(Single-Journey Ticket for Cyclists)。接著告知旅客各票種價格和使用規定,方便他們自行決定!
