In the U. S. people set around mostly by car. The U. S. has a vast system (体系) of roads and his high ways to take people where they need to go. You often see many trucks on highways.

In almost every great city, there is a whole world underneath (在……下面) your feet-a subway system. London has the tube. Paris has the metro. Most people just see it as a way to set from point A to point B,but you can learn a lot about a city from its subway. And the cool thing is that every city's subway is different.
