Trams, Buses, Bikes and Feet

In a city street, people travel in different ways: by tram on rails, by bus in its own lane, by bicycle in a bike lane, and on foot on the pavement. The street is shared, so everyone keeps to their own space and crosses at the zebra crossing.

In the picture

The tram on its rails: it carries passengers through the middle of the street.
The bus in its lane: it stops along the kerb to pick up passengers.
The bike lane: a marked strip where cyclists ride beside the traffic.
The zebra crossing: white stripes where people cross the street on foot.

Examples

You walk to school along the pavement and cross at the white stripes.
Your family takes the tram or the bus into the city centre.

Key takeaways

A street is shared, so each way of travelling has its own space.
Trams and buses carry many people at once, while bicycles and walking take up very little room.
