My name is Anna, and today I need you to buckle up 'cause

Ang pangalan ko ay Anna, at ngayon kailangan kitang buckle up dahil

we are going on a bus ride.

sasakay tayo sa bus.

Now it, I did say buckle up, which is what you'd normally say when you

Ngayon, sinabi ko ngang buckle up, na karaniwan mong sasabihin kapag

want someone to fasten their seatbelt.

gusto mong may mag-seatbelt.

However, on buses in the UK, we don't have seatbelts.

Gayunpaman, sa mga bus sa UK, wala kaming seatbelt.

Sometimes when you get on a coach or a mini bus, which is different

Minsan kapag sumakay ka sa isang coach o isang mini bus, na iba

to our typical public bus, sometimes on these mini buses and

sa aming karaniwang pampublikong bus, minsan sa mga mini bus at

coaches, there will be lap belts.

coach na ito, mayroong mga lap belt.

So belts that just go across your lap, like when you're on an airplane,

Kaya mga sinturon na nasa kandungan mo lang, tulad ng kapag nasa eroplano ka,

but not on your standard public bus.

ngunit hindi sa iyong karaniwang pampublikong bus.

Now, first things first, if you are new here, welcome.

Now, first things first, kung bago ka dito, welcome.

It's lovely to have you here.

Nakakatuwa na nandito ka.

It's lovely to be in your ear.

Ito ay kaibig-ibig upang maging sa iyong tainga.

And if you are returning, thank you so much for coming back.

Okay, so let's get on a bus.

Okay, kaya sumakay na tayo ng bus.

It's actually been quite a long time since I last had a bus ride.

Sa totoo lang medyo matagal na simula noong huli akong sumakay sa bus.

I think I did it with Jacob.

Sa tingin ko ginawa ko ito kay Jacob.

Oh no, I went into London actually with the boys for our dental

Oh hindi, nagpunta ako sa London talaga kasama ang mga lalaki para sa aming

appointment about six months ago.

appointment sa ngipin mga anim na buwan na ang nakakaraan.

So we were due a, a, a checkup and I think we took a bus and

Kaya kami ay dahil sa isang, isang, isang checkup at sa tingin ko kami ay sumakay ng bus at

then a train and an underground.

pagkatapos ay isang tren at isang underground.

So we had quite an, an exciting day of vehicles and transportation.

Kaya nagkaroon kami ng isang, isang kapana-panabik na araw ng mga sasakyan at transportasyon.

But normally I, I don't often take a bus.

Pero normally ako, hindi ako madalas sumakay ng bus.

However, when I was younger, I used to use the buses all the time, especially

Gayunpaman, noong bata pa ako, palagi akong gumagamit ng mga bus, lalo na

for getting to college or university.

sa pagpasok sa kolehiyo o unibersidad.

When I was, uh, working in Manchester, I would often take the bus into

Noong ako ay, eh, nagtatrabaho sa Manchester, madalas akong sumakay sa bus papunta sa

work, so I'd use it to commute.

trabaho, kaya gagamitin ko ito sa pag-commute.

And what we do here is we...

And what we do here is we...

well, now we can go on the internet and look up when the next bus is

well, now we can go on the internet and look up when the next bus is

going to arrive, so we know well in advance when the next bus is.

going to arrive, so we know well in advance kung kailan ang susunod na bus.

However, when I was younger, we would have to pick up a timetable, a bus timetable.

Gayunpaman, noong bata pa ako, kailangan naming kumuha ng timetable, isang timetable ng bus.

So a little sheet of paper that would normally fold up and slip

Kaya isang maliit na papel na karaniwang nakatiklop at nadudulas

into your pocket, that would have all of the standard times of

sa iyong bulsa, na magkakaroon ng lahat ng karaniwang oras ng

all the buses that were running.

lahat ng mga bus na tumatakbo.

So you would head to what is called the bus stop.

Kaya pupunta ka sa tinatawag na bus stop.

You head to 'head to' means go to you, head to the bus stop

Ang ibig sabihin ng head to 'head to' ay pumunta sa iyo, magtungo sa hintuan ng bus

and you wait for your bus.

at maghihintay ka para sa iyong bus.

So you might be sitting at the bus stop looking at your watch thinking "I'm

Kaya maaaring nakaupo ka sa hintuan ng bus na tumitingin sa iyong relo at iniisip na "Sigurado akong

sure the timetable said the bus would be here at five past three, but I can't

sinabi ng timetable na darating ang bus ng alas tres y medya, ngunit wala akong

see any buses coming" and then finally you can see it coming over the hill.

nakikitang mga bus na paparating" at sa wakas ay makikita mo na itong paparating. sa ibabaw ng burol.

"Woo-hoo.

"Woo-hoo.

Here's my bus" and so you get on the bus, and you ride on the bus.

Here's my bus" at saka ka sumakay sa bus, at sumakay ka sa bus.

So you get on, you physically enter the bus, and you, you ride on the bus.

Kaya sumakay ka, pisikal kang pumasok sa bus, at ikaw, sumakay ka sa bus.

Now notice I'm saying on the bus you get on you, you ride on the bus, because

Ngayon pansinin na sinasabi ko sa bus na sasakyan ka, sumakay ka sa bus, dahil

although we are inside the bus, we use on whenever it is a vehicle that

bagaman nasa loob tayo ng bus, ginagamit namin sa tuwing ito ay isang sasakyan na

you can stand up and walk around in.

maaari kang tumayo at maglakad-lakad.

So you get on a plane and you get on a bus.

Kaya sumakay ka isang eroplano at sumakay ka sa isang bus.

You get on a ship, okay?

Sumakay ka sa barko, okay?

'cause you can stand up and walk around on these particular vehicles.

'dahil maaari kang tumayo at maglakad-lakad sa mga partikular na sasakyang ito.

So you catch a bus.

Kaya sumakay ka ng bus.

You can also use, hop on and hop off.

Maaari mo ring gamitin, hop on at hop off.

So I might tell you I need to hop on a bus to Piccadilly Circus, and

Kaya't maaari kong sabihin sa iyo na kailangan kong sumakay ng bus papuntang Piccadilly Circus, at

then I'll hop off, as soon as I get to my bus stop, I'll hop off again.

pagkatapos ay bababa ako, sa sandaling makarating ako sa hintuan ng bus, bababa ulit ako.

So you hop on and you hop off.

Kaya tumalon ka at tumalon ka.

And then later in the day, I'll need to take the bus to, I don't know.

And then later in the day, I'll need to take the bus to, hindi ko alam.

Where can I say?

I can take the bus to Wimbledon.

Saan ko masasabi?

Kaya kong sumakay ng bus papuntang Wimbledon.

I'm going to take the bus to Wimbledon.

Sasakay ako ng bus papuntang Wimbledon.

That just simply means I'm going to ride on the bus until I get to Wimbledon.

Nangangahulugan lang iyon na sasakay ako sa bus hanggang sa makarating ako sa Wimbledon.

So I'm going to take the bus to Wimbledon, and then I will hop off, see

Kaya't sasakay ako ng bus papuntang Wimbledon, at pagkatapos ay bababa ako, makikita ang

my friend, have a bite to eat, and then hop back on the bus again, the same

aking kaibigan, makakain, at pagkatapos ay muling sumakay sa bus, sa parehong

bus, or at least the same number bus and, uh, go all the way to Kingston.

bus, o hindi bababa sa parehong numero ng bus at , uh, pumunta sa Kingston.

So you have a timetable and you go to the bus stop to catch your bus.

Kaya mayroon kang timetable at pumunta ka sa hintuan ng bus para sumakay sa iyong bus.

Now, of course, you can't just jump on a bus and, and sit down

Ngayon, siyempre, hindi ka na lang tumalon sa isang bus at, at umupo

and, and get a, a ride for free.

at, at sumakay, ng libre.

That doesn't happen.

Hindi iyon nangyayari.

You have to pay a fare, a fare, F-A-R-E.

Kailangan mong magbayad ng pamasahe, pamasahe, PAMASA.

In the old days, in the old days, actually in some places it probably

Noong unang panahon, noong unang panahon, talagang sa ilang lugar ay malamang

still is, that you have to pay with cash.

na ganoon pa rin, kailangan mong magbayad gamit ang cash.

But in the old days, you always would pay with money.

Ngunit noong unang panahon, palagi kang magbabayad gamit ang pera.

There would be a little tray in the driver's door that you would

Magkakaroon ng isang maliit na tray sa pintuan ng driver kung saan mo

place your money in and your driver would give you your change, and then

ilalagay ang iyong pera at ibibigay sa iyo ng iyong driver ang iyong sukli, at pagkatapos ay

print a ticket for you, a little paper ticket with his machine, and

mag-print ng tiket para sa iyo, isang maliit na papel na tiket kasama ang kanyang makina, at

you take that ticket and sit down.

kinuha mo ang tiket na iyon at umupo. .

That reminds me.

Naalala ko.

When I was younger, I used to collect bus tickets.

Noong bata pa ako, nangongolekta ako ng mga tiket sa bus.

Isn't that strange?

Hindi ba kakaiba?

I had a very strange set of collections and bus tickets was one of the

Mayroon akong kakaibang hanay ng mga koleksyon at ang mga tiket sa bus ay isa sa

things that I used to collect.

mga bagay na ginamit ko upang mangolekta.

Very odd.

Napaka kakaiba.

Anyway, we won't, uh, we won't dwell on that particular weird fact,

Anyway, hindi namin, uh, hindi namin tatalakayin ang kakaibang katotohanang iyon,

but yes, you would pay in cash.

ngunit oo, magbabayad ka ng cash.

These days most buses, I think, especially since the pandemic, most

Sa mga araw na ito, karamihan sa mga bus, sa tingin ko, lalo na dahil sa pandemya, karamihan sa

buses have contactless payment.

mga bus ay walang contactless na pagbabayad.

Contactless payments.

Mga pagbabayad na walang contact.

So you can use your card.

Para magamit mo ang iyong card.

In London you can use an oyster card.

Sa London maaari kang gumamit ng oyster card.

I think we still have oyster cards here.

May oyster card pa yata tayo dito.

I, I don't use one myself, but you can use either your, your, your debit card

Ako, hindi ako gumagamit ng isa, ngunit maaari mong gamitin ang alinman sa iyo, sa iyo, sa iyong debit card

or your credit card to just tap on the machine, or you can use your oyster card,

o sa iyong credit card upang i-tap lang ang makina, o maaari mong gamitin ang iyong oyster card,

or if you have your cards dialed into your phone, then you can use your phone.

o kung ipina-dial mo ang iyong mga card sa iyong telepono, pagkatapos ay maaari mong gamitin ang iyong telepono.

You can tap your phone against the machine.

Maaari mong i-tap ang iyong telepono sa makina.

It's all very clever, isn't it?

Ang lahat ng ito ay napakatalino, hindi ba?

Technology is moving so fast.

Napakabilis ng takbo ng teknolohiya.

We've come a long way in a very short space of time.

Malayo na ang narating natin sa napakaikling panahon.

So you pay your fare.

Kaya magbayad ka ng iyong pamasahe.

I also don't think you get paper ticket anymore.

Hindi na rin yata nakakakuha ng paper ticket.

I think you just tap and it goes beep and you go and sit down.

Sa tingin ko pumindot ka lang at magbeep ito at pumunta ka at maupo.

The one thing that's a shame with all this progression is that there's

Ang isang bagay na nakakahiya sa lahat ng pag-unlad na ito ay ang

very little talking to the driver.

kakaunting pakikipag-usap sa driver.

I still talk to the driver, but now because they are hiding behind these

Kinakausap ko pa rin ang driver, ngunit ngayon dahil nagtatago sila sa likod ng

big screens that are there to protect them, I think probably it was even

malalaking screen na ito na nandiyan upang protektahan sila, sa palagay ko marahil ay higit pa ito

more so through the pandemic, but they have these big screens and they

sa pamamagitan ng pandemya, ngunit mayroon silang mga malalaking screen na ito at

don't need to interact with you.

hindi nila kailangang makipag-ugnayan. kasama ka.

You just tap your card and walk onto the bus.

I-tap mo lang ang iyong card at maglakad papunta sa bus.

But I still think it's nice to say "Hello".

Pero iniisip ko pa rin na masarap magsabi ng "Hello".

And you tap your card, they nod their head and you say "Thank you", and you go

At tinapik mo ang iyong card, tinanguan nila ang kanilang ulo at sinabi mong "Salamat", at pumunta ka

and sit down and then at the end of your ride if I'm passing the driver again I

at umupo at pagkatapos ay sa dulo ng iyong biyahe kung madadaanan ko muli ang driver gusto kong

like to say, "Thank you very much", or "Have a nice day" and jump off the bus.

sabihin, "Maraming salamat. ", o "Magandang araw" at tumalon sa bus.

Hop off the bus.

Bumaba ng bus.

Get off the bus.

Bumaba ng bus.

However, some buses in London I keep saying in London because every area,

Gayunpaman, ang ilang mga bus sa London ay paulit-ulit kong sinasabi sa London dahil bawat lugar,

every town in the UK has its own company.

bawat bayan sa UK ay may sariling kumpanya.

Or local borough that provides the bus services.

O lokal na borough na nagbibigay ng mga serbisyo ng bus.

So the buses are slightly different depending on where in the country you are.

Kaya ang mga bus ay bahagyang naiiba depende sa kung nasaan ka sa bansa.

But in London, some of the buses have a door halfway down the bus, and

Ngunit sa London, ang ilan sa mga bus ay may pintuan sa kalagitnaan ng bus, at

this is to help the flow of people.

ito ay para makatulong sa pagdaloy ng mga tao.

So when the bus stops at a bus stop, people get on at the front

Kaya kapag huminto ang bus sa isang hintuan ng bus, sumasakay ang mga tao sa harap

of the bus, and then anyone on the bus gets off via the middle door.

ng bus, at pagkatapos ay bumaba ang sinuman sa bus sa pamamagitan ng gitnang pinto.

It makes it easier for people to move around.

Ginagawa nitong mas madali para sa mga tao na lumipat sa paligid.

There's no waiting around for everyone to get off before you get on.

Walang paghihintay sa paligid para sa lahat na bumaba bago ka sumakay.

However, if you do see a bus arriving and it just has one door at the front,

Gayunpaman, kung makakita ka ng bus na dumarating at mayroon lamang itong isang pinto sa harap,

you stand back and let everybody else get off before you get on.

tumayo ka sa likod at hayaan ang lahat na bumaba bago ka sumakay.

And in this country, of course, we love to queue.

At sa bansang ito, siyempre, mahilig tayong pumila.

So you'll form an orderly line.

Kaya bubuo ka ng maayos na linya.

You'll queue and take turns to get on the bus rather than just push your way in.

Pumila ka at maghahalinhinan para makasakay sa bus sa halip na itulak ka lang papasok.

It might cause it might cause a problem if you push forwards.

Maaaring magdulot ito ng problema kung itulak mo pasulong.

so you get on the bus and you, you use contactless and you, you pay your fare.

kaya sumakay ka sa bus at ikaw, gumamit ka ng contactless at ikaw, magbabayad ka ng pamasahe.

If you're buying a ticket in advance, or if you are in another area of

Kung bibili ka ng tiket nang maaga, o kung ikaw ay nasa ibang lugar ng

the country where they still do use cash, then you might ask for a

ang bansa kung saan gumagamit pa rin sila ng cash, pagkatapos ay maaari kang humingi ng isang

single ticket or a return ticket, depending on what your trip is about.

tiket o isang return ticket, depende sa kung tungkol saan ang iyong biyahe.

If you just need to go one way, you buy a single ticket.

Kung kailangan mo lang pumunta sa isang paraan, bumili ka ng isang tiket.

If you're coming back, you might buy a return ticket.

Kung babalik ka, maaari kang bumili ng return ticket.

And then I mentioned of course, the Oyster Card.

At saka ko nabanggit siyempre, yung Oyster Card.

I mentioned it as if you all know what it is, but maybe you haven't been to London.

Nabanggit ko ito na parang alam mo lahat kung ano ito, ngunit marahil ay hindi ka pa nakapunta sa London.

You have no idea what I'm talking about.

Wala kang ideya kung ano ang sinasabi ko.

The Oyster Card is a...

Ang Oyster Card ay isang...

like an easy travel system, the Oyster travel system in the...

tulad ng isang madaling sistema ng paglalakbay, ang sistema ng paglalakbay sa Oyster sa...

in London.

sa London.

So basically you buy a card and you put money on the card.

So basically bumili ka ng card at naglagay ka ng pera sa card.

So let's say I buy a card and I put 30 pounds on my Oyster card, I then use

Kaya sabihin nating bumili ako ng card at naglagay ako ng 30 pounds sa aking Oyster card, pagkatapos ay gagamitin ko

that card on all of the London transport.

ang card na iyon sa lahat ng transportasyon sa London.

So it could be on the tram, it could be on the underground, it could be on a

Kaya maaaring nasa tram, maaaring nasa underground, maaaring nasa

train if the train is within the London transport system, on the buses as well.

tren kung ang tren ay nasa loob ng London transport system, sa mga bus din.

So it just makes sure that you pay the lowest fare for the journey that

Kaya't sinisigurado lamang nito na magbabayad ka ng pinakamababang pamasahe para sa paglalakbay na

you're making, even though you're using mixed transport or perhaps...

iyong ginagawa, kahit na gumagamit ka ng halo-halong transportasyon o marahil...

cause in London you might jump onto the tube a couple of times a day, I say a

dahil sa London maaari kang tumalon sa tubo ng ilang beses sa isang araw, ako sabihin ng isang

couple, I actually mean more like 3, 4, 5 times in the day, to move around the city.

mag-asawa, ang ibig kong sabihin ay higit pa tulad ng 3, 4, 5 beses sa isang araw, upang lumipat sa paligid ng lungsod.

But you don't want to be paying a, a big fare every time, so you pay

Ngunit hindi mo nais na magbayad ng isang, isang malaking pamasahe sa bawat oras, kaya magbabayad ka

like one fare in order to travel within a certain zone for the day.

tulad ng isang pamasahe upang maglakbay sa loob ng isang partikular na zone para sa araw.

So the Oyster Card is all about helping you to lower your travel costs.

Kaya ang Oyster Card ay tungkol sa pagtulong sa iyo na bawasan ang iyong mga gastos sa paglalakbay.

So there's quite a lot of vocabulary that I just covered there.

Kaya medyo maraming vocabulary na na-cover ko lang doon.

We had to wait for a bus, catch a bus, get on and get off.

Kailangan naming maghintay ng bus, sumakay ng bus, sumakay at bumaba.

Ride on the bus, hop on and hop off.

Sumakay sa bus, sumakay at bumaba.

To take the bus to a place.

Para sumakay ng bus papunta sa isang lugar.

We talked about the bus stop and the timetable, the bus

Napag-usapan namin ang tungkol sa hintuan ng bus at ang timetable, ang

fare that you have to pay.

pamasahe sa bus na kailangan mong bayaran.

The driver.

Ang driver.

Now, sometimes there's a bus conductor, although this is less common these days.

Ngayon, minsan may konduktor ng bus, bagama't hindi na ito karaniwan sa mga araw na ito.

The conductor is someone who assists the passengers on the bus, maybe

Ang konduktor ay isang taong tumutulong sa mga pasahero sa bus, marahil

checks that people have paid.

ay nagsusuri kung ang mga tao ay nagbayad.

You would see a conductor also sometimes on the trains, they come around and

Makakakita ka rin minsan ng konduktor sa mga tren, pumupunta sila at

make sure everyone's paid for their, for their right to be there on the train.

tinitiyak na binabayaran ng lahat ang kanilang, para sa kanilang karapatan na makapunta doon sa tren.

We mentioned a, a single, we mentioned a single or return ticket,

Nabanggit namin ang isang, isang solong, nabanggit namin ang isang solong o return ticket,

and we mentioned the oyster card.

at binanggit namin ang oyster card.

Now, I also mentioned a little bit of etiquette.

Ngayon, binanggit ko rin ang kaunting etiquette.

The proper etiquette of riding a bus if you are in the UK.

Ang tamang etiquette ng pagsakay sa bus kung ikaw ay nasa UK.

I mentioned queuing up, so I said, if you're waiting for a bus, and the

Nabanggit ko ang pagpila, kaya sabi ko, kung naghihintay ka ng bus, at

bus arrives and there's a number of people there, it's polite to form a

dumating ang bus at maraming tao doon, magalang na bumuo ng isang

neat orderly line and wait for everyone to get off, and then one by one in

maayos at maayos na linya at hintayin ang lahat na bumaba, at pagkatapos ay isa-isa. isa sa

order of the line to get onto the bus.

pagkakasunud-sunod ng linya upang makasakay sa bus.

Often if someone has been waiting at the bus stop longer than you have, it's only

Kadalasan kung ang isang tao ay naghihintay sa hintuan ng bus nang mas matagal kaysa sa iyo, makatarungan lamang

fair to allow them to stand in front of you in the line, and people will

na payagan silang tumayo sa harap mo sa linya, at ang mga tao ay

often step back and urge you to move in front of them if they can see that

madalas na umatras at hinihimok kang lumipat sa harap nila kung nakikita nila. na

you've been there longer than they have.

mas matagal ka na roon kaysa sa kanila.

Another thing that we do is if you are already on the bus, or you are just

Isa pang bagay na ginagawa namin ay kung nasa bus ka na, o kakasakay mo pa lang

getting on the bus and you have found a nice comfy seat, or you've got bags

sa bus at nakahanap ka na ng magandang upuan, o may mga bag ka

on the seat next to you, and then you can see that someone needs the seat

sa katabi mong upuan, at pagkatapos ay makikita mo iyon may nangangailangan ng upuan

because it's quite busy, well, if you have your bag on a seat, obviously

kasi medyo abala, eh, kung nasa upuan mo yung bag mo, halata naman

it's, it's polite to take your bag and put it on your lap or put it on the

, magalang na kunin yung bag mo at ilagay sa kandungan mo o ilagay sa

floor to allow the person to sit down.

sahig para makaupo yung tao.

But if you are sitting in a seat and you see someone who's elderly, so an

Ngunit kung nakaupo ka sa isang upuan at nakakita ka ng isang taong may edad na, kaya isang

older person or heavily pregnant, they might even be wearing a badge, we tend

mas matandang tao o lubhang buntis, maaaring may suot pa silang badge, malamang

to have a badge that we wear when we're pregnant that says "baby on board"

na mayroon tayong badge na isinusuot natin kapag buntis tayo na nagsasabing "baby on board"

or something like that and pregnant ladies tend to wear this to show you

o isang bagay na tulad nito at ang mga buntis na kababaihan ay madalas na magsuot nito upang ipakita sa iyo

that they might need to sit down.

na maaaring kailanganin nilang umupo.

And so if you see someone who's pregnant, wearing a badge, if you

Kaya kung makakita ka ng isang taong buntis, may suot na badge, kung

see an elderly person or a disabled person, someone who needs, uh, a

nakakita ka ng isang matanda o isang may kapansanan, isang taong nangangailangan, eh, isang

stick to walk, then it, it's polite to stand up and offer them your seat.

patpat para makalakad, kung gayon, ito ay magalang na tumayo at mag-alok sa kanila ng iyong upuan.

So that they don't have to struggle with standing up on a moving bus.

Para hindi na sila mahirapan sa pagtayo sa umaandar na bus.

I'm sure it's the same in, in your country too.

Sigurado ako na ganoon din sa, sa iyong bansa din.

The other thing is speaking on your phone too loud or being too loud in general.

Ang isa pang bagay ay masyadong malakas ang pagsasalita sa iyong telepono o masyadong malakas sa pangkalahatan.

So if you are on there with your friend, keeping your conversation at a reasonable

Kaya kung kasama mo ang iyong kaibigan, pinapanatili ang iyong pag-uusap sa isang makatwirang

level, not being too loud in, in a way that would disturb other people.

antas, hindi masyadong maingay, sa paraang makakaistorbo sa ibang tao.

And then finally, I think if it's a busy bus and people are trying to

At sa wakas, sa palagay ko kung ito ay isang abalang bus at sinusubukan ng mga tao na

get on at the front of the bus, it's helpful if you move back down the bus

sumakay sa harap ng bus, makatutulong kung babalik ka sa pagbaba ng bus

to make room for more people to get on.

upang magbigay ng puwang para sa mas maraming tao na makasakay.

Sometimes the driver may shout to you, "Move down, move

Minsan ang driver ay maaaring sumigaw sa iyo, "Bumaba ka, bumaba

down the bus", or "Move back.

sa bus", o "Umuwi ka.

Move back!", telling you, please move down the bus so more people can get on.

Bumalik ka!", na nagsasabi sa iyo, mangyaring bumaba sa bus para mas maraming tao ang makasakay.

Now talking about moving along in the bus, you might actually be able

Now talking about moving along in the bus, you might actually able to

to move upstairs because we don't just have single leveled buses.

move upstairs kasi hindi lang single leveled bus ang meron tayo.

We have double deckers, a double decker bus, a double decker bus in London.

Mayroon kaming double deckers, double decker bus, double decker bus sa London.

These are typically red, the red double decker buses.

Ang mga ito ay karaniwang pula, ang mga pulang double decker na bus.

They're iconic for London.

Ang mga ito ay iconic para sa London.

And it's quite typical for the, the young kids, the young kids.

At ito ay medyo tipikal para sa, ang mga bata, ang mga bata.

They might be like 20 or, or something, but the, the cool kids and the

Maaaring sila ay tulad ng 20 o, o isang bagay, ngunit ang, ang mga cool na bata at ang

young people tend to go upstair.

mga kabataan ay may posibilidad na umakyat sa itaas.

You can see much more.

Marami ka pang makikita.

You get a better view and yeah, it's, it's cool to go upstairs or the backseat.

Mas maganda ang view mo and yeah, it's, it's cool to go upstairs or the backseat.

The backseat is reserved for the cool people.

Ang backseat ay nakalaan para sa mga cool na tao.

If I get onto a bus and there's a rowdy crowd of teenagers all hanging out

Kung sumakay ako sa isang bus at maraming mga teenager na tumatambay sa

upstairs or hanging around the backseat, I tend to just stay right at the front.

itaas o tumatambay sa backseat, malamang na manatili lang ako sa harap.

It just makes me a little bit nervous.

Medyo kinakabahan lang ako.

I think rowdy crowds generally, um, make people nervous.

Sa tingin ko ang mga taong nagkakagulo sa pangkalahatan, um, nagpapakaba sa mga tao.

Anyway, were you the kind of person who sat at the back on a bus?

Anyway, ikaw ba ang uri ng tao na nakaupo sa likod sa isang bus?

Were you a cool kid?

Ikaw ba ay isang cool na bata?

So now I'm going to give you some general kind of facts about buses.

Kaya ngayon ay bibigyan kita ng ilang pangkalahatang uri ng mga katotohanan tungkol sa mga bus.

The London bus service, the first London bus service began in 1829,

Ang London bus service, ang unang London bus service ay nagsimula noong 1829,

and it was a horse-drawn omnibus.

at ito ay isang horse-drawn omnibus.

Horse-drawn, if something is horse-drawn, then it means it is moved by a horse.

Hinihila ng kabayo, kung ang isang bagay ay hinihila ng kabayo, ibig sabihin ay ginagalaw ito ng kabayo.

So we talk about a horse-drawn carriage.

Kaya pinag-uusapan natin ang isang karwahe na hinihila ng kabayo.

This was a horse-drawn omnibus.

Ito ay isang horse-drawn omnibus.

The first bus service in London, began in 1829 pulled

Ang unang serbisyo ng bus sa London, ay nagsimula noong 1829 na hinila

ng isang kabayo, ito ay hinihila ng kabayo.

Now the iconic double decker bus was introduced in London in 1956, so that's

Ngayon ang iconic na double decker na bus ay ipinakilala sa London noong 1956, kaya't

quite a lot later than when the first bus service arrived, and this double decker

mas huli iyon kaysa noong dumating ang unang serbisyo ng bus, at

bus replaced the previous trolley buses.

pinalitan ng double decker bus na ito ang mga nakaraang trolley bus.

Now the London bus network is one of the largest and most extensive in the world.

Ngayon ang London bus network ay isa sa pinakamalaki at pinakamalawak sa mundo.

With over 8,000 buses, can you imagine 8,000 buses and 700 routes.

Sa mahigit 8,000 bus, maiisip mo ba ang 8,000 bus at 700 ruta.

And of course, as I mentioned, outside of London, bus services are operated

At siyempre, tulad ng nabanggit ko, sa labas ng London, ang mga serbisyo ng bus ay pinatatakbo

by a variety of private companies and local authorities with some areas, even

ng iba't ibang mga pribadong kumpanya at lokal na awtoridad na may ilang mga lugar, kahit

today, some areas still have a limited bus service or no bus service at all.

ngayon, ang ilang mga lugar ay mayroon pa ring limitadong serbisyo ng bus o walang serbisyo ng bus.

So there are still some very remote areas within the UK.

Kaya mayroon pa ring ilang napakalayo na lugar sa loob ng UK.

Now, even if you don't ride on a bus very often, if you drive in this

Ngayon, kahit na hindi ka madalas sumakay sa bus, kung nagmamaneho ka sa

country, then you will definitely have experience of being stuck behind the bus.

bansang ito, tiyak na mararanasan mo na ma-stuck sa likod ng bus.

Ah, there's nothing worse is there.

Ah, wala nang mas masahol pa doon.

You're trying to get somewhere quickly.

Sinusubukan mong makarating sa isang lugar nang mabilis.

You're trying to be efficient, and it's always when you are running late

Sinusubukan mong maging mahusay, at ito ay palaging kapag ikaw ay tumatakbo nang huli

or you really need to get somewhere and then suddenly there's a bus and

o kailangan mo talagang pumunta sa isang lugar at pagkatapos ay biglang may bus at

you're stuck behind that bus and it stops at every bus stop, and it has

ikaw ay natigil sa likod ng bus na iyon at ito ay humihinto sa bawat hintuan ng bus, at mayroon itong

lots of people to get on and get off.

maraming mga tao na sumakay at bumaba.

Oh, it takes ages.

Oh, ito ay tumatagal ng mga edad.

And if this is the case, it is not uncommon for you to overtake that bus.

At kung ito ang kaso, karaniwan nang ma-overtake mo ang bus na iyon.

So you overtake the bus when you have an opportunity.

Kaya mag-overtake ka sa bus kapag may pagkakataon.

Of course, you have to be careful when overtaking a bus because

Siyempre, kailangan mong mag-ingat sa pag-overtake ng bus dahil

pedestrians do have a habit of stepping out from in front of the bus.

nakagawian ng mga pedestrian na lumabas sa harap ng bus.

So as you are overtaking, you think, "woo-hoo, the road is mine.

Kaya habang nag-o-overtake ka, naiisip mo, "woo-hoo, akin na ang kalsada. Kaya

I can speed up."

kong pabilisin."

Then . suddenly someone steps out from in front of the bus and you

Tapos . biglang may lumabas sa harap ng bus at

weren't expecting to see them.

hindi mo inaasahang makikita mo sila.

Ooh, that could be, a bit of a disaster.

Ooh, iyon ay maaaring, medyo isang sakuna.

So always being careful waiting to see where the pedestrians are, if overtaking.

Kaya laging mag-ingat sa paghihintay kung nasaan ang mga naglalakad, kung mag-overtake.

If you're a cyclist, then you are also warned to be very careful

Kung ikaw ay isang siklista, pagkatapos ay binabalaan ka rin na maging maingat

if you are undertaking a bus.

kung ikaw ay nagsasagawa ng bus.

So to overtake is, um, when you pass a vehicle, passing

Kaya ang mag-overtake ay, um, kapag dumaan ka sa isang sasakyan, dadaan

them on the right hand side.

sila sa kanang bahagi.

But if you undertake them, it's where you cut, um, in front

Ngunit kung isagawa mo ang mga ito, ito ay kung saan mo pinutol, um, sa harap

of them from the left side.

nila mula sa kaliwang bahagi.

So we tend to expect anyone to pass us, to pass us on the right, it's

So we tend to expect na may dadaan sa amin, dadaan kami sa kanan,

usually not allowed to undercut.

kadalasan bawal mag-undercut.

However, cyclists, of course, do all the time, they just move where they can, and

Gayunpaman, ang mga siklista, siyempre, ay ginagawa sa lahat ng oras, sila ay gumagalaw lamang kung saan nila magagawa, at ang

cyclists and buses are not well-matched.

mga siklista at mga bus ay hindi magkatugma.

So if a cyclist is undertaking a bus, then they have to be extra careful because you

Kaya kung ang isang siklista ay sumasakay ng bus, kailangan nilang maging mas maingat dahil

know, every vehicle has a blind spot and bigger vehicles have bigger blind spots.

alam mo, bawat sasakyan ay may blind spot at mas malalaking sasakyan ay may mas malaking blind spot.

A blind spot is an area at the side of you that you can't really see very easily.

Ang blind spot ay isang lugar sa gilid mo na hindi mo talaga madaling makita.

Your mirrors don't quite cover, so you have to be super careful.

Ang iyong mga salamin ay hindi masyadong nakatakip, kaya kailangan mong maging sobrang maingat.

Be very careful around buses in general.

Maging maingat sa paligid ng mga bus sa pangkalahatan.
