Symbols and pubs England and Colombia... too many diferences

London´s double-decker red buses are world famous. The city has nearly 1.000 routes and buses of many other types and colours also travel on them. You can see loads of them in London. There are two main kinds of buses in London: the red double-decker and the red single-decker. You must buy a ticket before boarding the buses in London. There are ticket machines at most bus stops.

The main places a bus goes to are shown on the front of the bus. Some double-deckers have automatic doors and you pay the driver when you go in. On single-deckers you sometimes buy your ticket from a machine in the bus. Most London buses have a conductor who will come round and collect fares.
There are many sightseeing, open top, buses in London and other cities.

The bus adult single cash fire is L2 for any journey. The One Day Bus Pass is L3.50 and the 7-day Bus Pass is L14.00 (Prices last updated December 2008).The cheapest option is to buy the Oyster card Pre Pay (see form). The fare is L1.00. Oyster uses also never pay more than L3 regardless of how many trips they make each day. (Prices last updated December 2008).

The buses are boarded from the front. Bus routes are identified by numbers and sometimes letters, for example the 73 runs between Seven Sisters and Victoria.

Buses display their route number in large digits at the front, side and rear of the bus.

One way of seeing London´s major sights is on an open-top double-decker bus. Tickets are valid for 24 hours and allow unlimited “hop on/hop off” travel.

Urban transport in Colombia is dominated by people making short trips multiple times per day and can consist of single-decker buses, taxis and vans of different colours, sometimes each transportation company makes difference on their colour.

In addition to the buses; at the great cities like Bogotá, Cali, and Medellín, the sectional governments have improved the urban transport because of the number of people, so there is The Transmilenio in Bogotá, El Mio in Cali and The Metro in Medellin that are the most modern ways of transport in our country.

There aren´t ticket machines, you must pay to the driver on buses, at Trasmilenio, for example you must pay your fare at the enter on the platform.
People often stand at bus stops in groups, and only queue to get on the bus and the fares changed according to the distances and cities, but we think they fluctuate between $1.000 and $1.500 pesos all over the country.
In London the taxis, are black but in the rest of the country they are different colours. London´s distinctive taxis, black cabs, are as much a feature of city life as its red double-decker buses.
Like buses, black cabs are also being modernised and many are now painted other colours with advertising.
You can telephone for a black cab, hail one in the street or find one in a rank, especially near large railway stations or some major hotels. They carry a yellow “For Hire” sign above the windscreen which is lit up when they are free. To stop one hold out your arm in a purposeful, and determined way. When the taxi stops tell the driver your destination.
In Colombia as in many other countries of the world, taxis are yellow and you usually can catch one in the streets, or find one in a rank in the airports, department stores, and so one. Middle class, over all, use to commuting to work or to school, by byke, bus or motorcycle; three-wheeled motor van and horse-drawn carriage are still use to carry different stuffs.
