Some people go to work by bike because they live farther（更远） away, or they like riding bikes and they think it is good for their health. But some people in the cities go to work by bus or subway, because they are much faster. It is also interesting to take the bus or subway. And some people take the trains to work. Today more and more people have private （私人的）cars, so they can go to work in their cars. But that may cost too much money.
