(2.0 p) 0. obvious => obviously First of all, walking is obvious the cheapest mean of traveling, and can be quicker in a city center. Of course, the far you have to go, the more tired you will become. On some ways, walking is healthier than travel by bus or car, but it can be just as unhealthy because cities are much more pollution than they used to be. The cars are faster of course and more convenient, but as cities become more crowed, parking was getting harder. Sometimes public transport is the best although buses don’t go as fast than cars do.

In a city, the fastest way of traveling is on a bike, that keeps you fitter and is not so noisy as a motorbike or a car.
