| Hello, this is Land Transport Information at Toronto Airport. |
| How may I help you? |
| Oh, good morning. |
| I'm flying to Toronto Airport next week, and I need to get to a town called um, Milton. |
| Could you tell me how I can get there? |
| Milton, did you say? |
| Let me see. |
| I think that's about 150 miles southwest of here. |
| In fact, it's 147 miles to be exact, |
| so it'll take you at least - say, three to four hours by road. |
| Wow! Is it as far as that? |
| Yes, I'm afraid so. |
| But you have a number of options to get you there |
| and you can always rent a car right here at the airport, of course. |
| Right. |
| Well, I don't really want to drive myself, so... |
| I'd like more information about public transport. |
| OK. |
| In that case the quickest and most comfortable is a cab |
| and of course there are always plenty available. |
| But it'll cost you. |
| You can also take a Greyhound bus or there's an Airport Shuttle Service to Milton. |
| Uh, I think for that kind of distance a cab would be way beyond my budget. |
| But the bus sounds OK. |
| Can you tell me how much that would cost? |
| Sure. |
| Let's see, that would be $15 one way, |
| or 27.50 return... |
| that's on the Greyhound. |
| Oh, that's quite cheap - great! |
| Uh... but whereabouts does it stop in Milton? |
| It goes directly from the airport here to the City Centre, and it's pretty fast. |
| But you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure a day, |
| so it depends what time your flight gets in. |
| Oh, of course. |
| Hang on, we're due to get there at 11.30 am. |
| Hmmm, too bad, |
| the bus leaves at 3.45, |
| so you would have quite a wait - more than 4 hours. |
| Oh, I see. |
| Well, what about the shuttle you mentioned? |
| OK. |
| That's the Airport Shuttle that will take you from the airport right to your hotel or private address. |
| It's a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better, because there's one every two hours. |
| So how much does that cost? |
| Let's see. |
| Yeah, that's $35 one way, $65 return, |
| so I guess it's a bit more expensive than the Greyhound. |
| Oh, that doesn't sound too bad, |
| especially if it'll take me straight to the hotel. |
| But you do need to reserve a seat. |
| OK, |
| is it possible to make a booking right now? Through you? |
| Sure. |
| OK, I just have to fill this form out for you. |
| So what date do you want to book this for? |
| The 16th of October. |
| Oh, oh, no, sorry, that's my departure date. |
| I arrive on the 17th, so book it for then, please. |
| So, that's the Toronto Airport Shuttle to Milton. |
| And this is for just one person or...? |
| Yeah, just me, please. |
| Right. |
| And you said your expected time of arrival was 11.30? |
| So if I book your Shuttle for after 12.00 - let's say 12.30, |
| that should give you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage, maybe grab a coffee? |
| Yeah, that sounds fine, as long as we land on time! |
| Well, we'll take your flight details so you don't need to worry too much about that. |
| Now, what about the fare? |
| What sort of ticket do you want? |
| One way or...? |
| Yeah, that'll be fine, provided I can book the return trip once I'm there. |
| No problem - just allow a couple of days in advance to make sure you get a seat. |
| And what is your name, please? |
| Janet, Janet Thomson. |
| Is that Thompson spelt with a 'p'? |
| No, it's THOMSON. |
| OK. |
| And you'll be coming from the UK? |
| What flight will you be traveling on? |
| Oh, it's Air Canada flight number AC936, from London Heathrow. |
| Right. |
| Now, do you know where you'll be staying? |
| We need to give the driver an address. |
| Yes, it's called the Vacation Motel |
| and I think it's near the town centre. |
| Anyway, the address is 24, Kitchener Street - |
| that's KITCHENER Street. |
| That's fine. |
| Right, so that's $35 to pay, please. Have you got your credit card number there? |
| Yes, it's a VISA card, |
| and the number is 3303 8450 2045 6837. |
| OK. Well, that seems to be everything. |
| Have a good trip and we'll see you in Toronto next week! |
| Yes, bye. Oh, thanks for your help! |
