A lot of big cities, like London, have got many traffic problems. ________ a journey of a few kilometers ________ take more than an hour. So what’s the best way to get ________ London? For a very short journey, it’s probably a good idea to walk. But what happens ________ you want to go further?

The hosts of a popular TV car show decided to find out. Each of the hosts chose a different type of transport ________ the same 27-kilometer journey. One host went by bike. One went by car. ________ chose public transport—the underground and the bus—and the last one travelled by speedboat up the River Thames. They ________ started at the same time and the same place in West London, but who ________ to City Airport in East London first? The bike came first in ________ . In second place was the speedboat. Public transport came third and the car was last.

So the hosts had ________ answer. The bike was ________ than all the other types of transport and the car was slower. They weren’t very happy ________ the result because they wanted the car to win. They made a joke and said that the bike wasn’t a real winner ________ it was more dangerous.
