R: It's too crowded in here!
S: same story every day.
R: oh really? Oh good, it's stopping to let some fresh air in, it's too stuffy here.
S: subway line one is always very crowded, especially during rush hour.
R: oh, no. there are more people getting on!
S: we should leave earlier next time.
R: I don't think I can stand it any more. I can hardly breathe.
S: come on, Rita, only two more stops before the interchange. It will empty out them.

R: thank God. I don't get how you handle this. There's so little personal space. Why don't you take the bus? It's cheaper.
S: yes, it is. But it's not very convenient. I would have to change buses three times and it's not as reliable.
R: at least on the bus you can see out of the windows. Down here there is nothing but advertisements.
S: it's just as overcrowded and smelly as the subway as well as bring slower.
R: I guess you're right. I think I'll consider buying a car. What do you say?
S: honestly, for there are already far too many cars in Beijing, I don't want to contribute to the mess.
R: I suppose you are right. I guess I'll just have to get used to the subway.
