[영어 회화] 버스, 지하철 관련 표현 영어로 말하기

 

아침 8시부터는 출근길, 저녁 6시부터는 퇴근길로 도로가 차로 꽉 차있죠. 그 시간쯤에는 출퇴근하는 사람들로 인도도 북적북적, 버스정류장이나 지하철역도 북적북적 합니다. 자가용이 없는 사람들은 버스, 지하철 같은 대중교통의 이용빈도가 높을텐데요. '버스 도착시간을 확인하다, 버스를 놓치다, 지하철 막차다' 와 같이 우리가 자주 사용하는 말들은 영어로 어떻게 말할 수 있을까요? 버스와 지하철을 타러가는 것부터 목적지에 내리는 것까지 전 과정에 대한 유용한 영어 표현들을 정리해보았습니다.
