Which sentence is FALSE according to the text? In the UK, long-distance express buses are called coaches. These are always economical, but they can be very slow.

Which sentence is TRUE according to the text? Car travel in the UK is expensive, and there is often a lot of traffic. However, travelling by car means that you can be independent and flexible, and a car carrying three or more passengers can be cheaper than public transport. Motorways take drivers quickly from one city to the next but small roads are often more scenic and fun. Parking in the centre of big cities can be difficult and very expensive, so an alternative is to use a Park & Ride. This is a system where drivers pay less to park their cars outside the city and take a bus to the centre
The more people are in the taxi, the cheaper is the trip
There isn't much traffic in the UK.
In a Park & Ride system you take a train.
