Hi

Everyone

And welcome back to britain under the microscope

欢迎你又回到闲话英文

Hi Aland

Hello

Today

Today 're going

Going have our

Our last eisode de our priprice comparison series

Comparing the cost of living in london and in beijing

We've talked about food beeating out

We've talked about housing

Renting buying

Today we're going to akk about transport and some of the other missilenenians

Okay

Transport is a big expense for people living in london

Transport is incredibly expensive

Compared with obthe cities around the world

And especially compared with beijing as well especially public transport

Yes

So let's start with buses

I'm really embarrassed that i had to do research on this for beijing

Because it's been sometime since the last time i took a bus or a subway

Even luck y you

No

I just don't have to commute because of my work

But so beijing as far as i know it's about two rmb

And then it goes up a little bit

But it ouldn't go up too much

Two rmb within tent kilometers

What about london

In london one trip on a bus will cost you one pound fifty

That's a lot

Yes

Do you have any discounts like for kids and older people there are

There are one a few discounts

But not that much um

If you're an older person

Then you get free transport ice

And if you're quite young

You're very young

Than you get free transport as well um

But for adults

There is a maximum per day

Which is four part on fifty

哦

就是四磅五封顶

Yep still expensive though if you think they're just buses

Yeah

It is um

But that's how the transport works in in london

So much you reach a certain cap

Then you're not charged anymore um

But that cap is still very

Oh

Ah think about

I think about it

You spend four four pound p

Which is the equivalent of about forty rmb for started on a bus

First that 什么事

What about underground or subway 地铁

I know for a fact

London is notorious for exexpensive underground

That's quite

There's a difference between peak and off piak

Peak time will be rush ours yeah

Ah that is three pound ninety

Three pound ninety ty one ticket yeah and off of piwould would be pounds eighty so four pounds let me wrap my head around this

Because i already ready forgot a lot about that or i guess

I just try to ignore it

When i was travelling on the underground

Four pounds so over thirty rm beay well close to forty

Actually yes

Just for one trip

It can be cheaper

It can also be more expensive

This is a calculation based on where most people in london would live i see

So this is going to work

This is not going from one part of london to another for maybe fun or pleasure

And that's in beijing is one tenth of this price

It's a three to start

And then it can go up to nine

But then you travel very far yeah

But can you make a cheaper

But buying like a monthly pass

You can the same time of distance that i mentioned before which is about maybe fourteen kilometers um a monthly pass would be about two hundred pounds

Two hundred pounds and that's unlimited yeah

But i mean if i takes taxes foot entire months to commute somewhere that probably come to less

Then like two hundred pounds

Yeah

Wow

地铁月票就是两百磅

I feel for the common working folk in london

That's one the reasons

Why cycling and walking is becoming a lot more popular

Um being forced to exercise

Yeah

Because you cannot afford public transiort

I dare not ask about taxes

If public transports are already so expensive

Though different types of taxes festival

You have the black caps

This is something most people know about one 敦

就伦敦那个很老式的那种黑色的taxi

Those are the most expensive

Yes

How expensive they start with free pound twenty

Three pound twenty okay

So that's the starting price

And then

Then per kilometer beyond that youtell you at roughly two pound eighty four per kilometer okay

I'll tell you what let me do the calculation

So because when you say that people will still have do cucoper culation

如果粗略的算一下十公里的路程

这种传统的black cap 的话

怎么样都超过人民币两百块了

And in beijing the same distance with normal taxes

Standard taxes

And h just get slightly over thirty

Yeah

So that's a huge difference

This is huge difference

Rence h you also have to tip them

And you have have tipe

So let you forget that

Oh

This always cracks when you are black

If you already charging me

That much

Why do i still have to tip you

Oh

Pretty much

If you're taking a black cap

Then you must have money

Um

That's true

But that you have many caps

Many caps would kind of like they're not like hate

They're 're legal caps

But they

They just private cars

Yeah

They kind of a bit cheaper

And alyy're look for exfact for exam b

Also for the same equivalent journey

Okay

I know for a fact that many caps for example

For ourourteen in kilometers is about forty pounds yeah

So that will be three hundred fifty rmbi feel like what dealing with a lot of numbers yeah

But then what basically many caps us like cheaper

And it also legal was well um

But nowadays with uber

现在这个uber and ah cheaper yeah

And it's just easier to use faster service yeah

Uber is a little bit controversial in the uk

Safety

It's not so much about safety is because black caps don't like uber

So they put a lot pressure on the government to ban uber same here actually taxis do not like 滴滴for example

Yeah

I would say uber is like a 滴滴yeah

You have your quiet or you have your 专车

And that is cheaper than mini caps

Right it is cheaper than mincaps

嗯

But and it's just a lot easier as well we are mini cap

You always have to get the fir up front

So when you call them

It have your 专车to them

How much

It 's going to be

Because they don't have meters

They don't have meters

Um sounds of it

Dodgy

It is

But they are regulated

They are licensed

So we just talked about public transport and than taxes

What if you actually drive yourself

That is not going to be any cheaper

No

It's actually gonna be more expensive

That's because in central london we have a congestion

Tax 拥堵睡yeah

How much is that now fifteen pounds a day

A day yes

So if you go into central london

You have to pay fifteen pounds

Yeah

And the next day you have to pay others

Fifteen pounds yes

No wonder

You don't see a lot of people driving um king

No inside london

Even if you just go in and then come out again

You have to pay um

But say if you actually do drive into the inside of london parking is another huge expense

Yes you're looking at about free b to five pounds an hour

Three to five pounds an hour 差不多二十五到四十五人民币

And very mind that they're not many parking spaces

There's not many car parks in central london

So you go around

Really try to find a very very expensive parking spot

Yeah

If you're lucky

That's why like you said in especially central london

You really don't see many people dripoand some people they don't even take underground anymore or busses

They just like you said cycle or they just walk

Oh It okah

This is one thing about london

When you go through the city of london of rush hour

You can still see lots of people who are wewned very expensive suits

Obviously very wealthy

Um thethey're getting underground

It's just simply

Because it's easier um i say so that's about transport um i se there are many other welpects of life um

But we can possibly cover all of them

So we decide to cover the basic

You might ask 衣食住行

Where's yeyeah be be ononst with clothth

There's such a wide variety

You can spend as little or as much

You want same as in any country

Really pretty much

So there's really not

It's really not a great indicator of because it's all about brands

Yeah

And it's all about different types of life style

Well well

You'll look about price

Compose some websites

And there's really think you want different people that have wildly different lifestyles as well

Even if some of these figures are probably not completely spot on

嗯

Hopefuly gives you a good idea of lovely

What the differences are and also specially in beijing

Um

What the similarities ties um um whwhicver ver city you live in we would really like to see your shares in the comon section let us know how expensive or how inexsive ve living your city is let us know

And if have you been to any other places in europe or even america

Canada another countries let us know in a common section

Yep make us jealous

But the way

It's really good to healthy back onland

Thank you very much

It's good to be back

I see you next time
