Transport in Venice

The city of Venice is built on a lagoon and is made up of 118 islands. The Grand Canal is the main water way in the city. There three main types of transportation on Venice, water buses, water taxis, and gondolas. The water buses have a route. The water taxis are smaller motor boats. And the gondolas are rowed by someone.

Cars

Today I learned that most cars and signs in the UK uses miles as a term of measurement. I figured that because it was Europe they would be using the metric system. Britain uses miles per hour onspeed limits  and the roadsigns are displayed in miles. All other measurements that I have come across are in the metric system.

London Trains

 The subway system in London is called by locals as the “Tube.” This is an example of a sign showing the destination of the current stop.
