LESSON 42
COMMUTING
If you commute, you travel a long distance every day between your home and your place of work. Commuters are passengers who have season tickets. The price of the season ticket is commuted – reduced – is less than a normal price. Hence the name – commuters.
Many commuters arrive by train during the busiest time of the morning – between 8 and 9 am. This is the rush hour, also called the peak hour - when the number of commuters reaches its peak.
Once the peak hour has finished the trains are almost empty. And you can get cheaper tickets if you travel off-peak.
