Commuting1 by Train 

Lisa: Can you tell me if this is the right platform for the train to Arlington? 

Omar: Yes, it is. Is this your first time taking the train? 

Lisa: Is it that obvious? 

Omar: No, you just look a little lost. 

Lisa: I’m starting a new job and I have to commute2 to work for the first time. 

Omar: Oh, I see. Did you buy a ticket at the ticket machine? 

Lisa: Yes, I did, when I entered the station. I hope I bought the right one. 

Omar: Let me see. Yes, that’s the right one. The good news is that I haven’t heard any announcements about the train being delayed, like it has been a couple of times this week, so it should be on time. 

Lisa: I’m relieved to hear that. I can’t afford to be late to work on my first day. Will I need to show this ticket to get on the train? 

Omar: Not when you get on. After the train is under way, the conductor will walk down the aisle3 to collect it. 

Lisa: Oh, I see, thanks. That sounds simple. 

Omar: It is simple if you can actually find a seat. It can be pretty crowded on these commuter4 trains. Sometimes it’s standing5 room only. 

Lisa: Let’s hope for the best. 

Omar: Stick with me. I’ll elbow a few people out of the way to get you a seat. 

Lisa: [laughs] Thanks, I think.
