FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Erik: Hello and welcome! Where would you like to travel?

Maja: Hello! I want to go to the museum, but I do not know which bus to take.

Erik: Take bus four from here. At the station, change to bus seven.

Maja: Okay. Where is the bus stop?

Erik: Go out through the door and turn left. The bus stop is next to the kiosk.

Maja: Thank you. Can you show me on a map?

Erik: Yes, here is the map. You are standing here, and the bus stop is there.

Maja: Which ticket do I need?

Erik: A single ticket is enough for this journey. It costs four euros.

Maja: Can I buy the ticket here and pay by card?

Erik: Yes, that is fine. You will get the ticket straight away.

Maja: Thank you. How long do I have to wait for the bus?

Erik: About ten minutes. You can sit on the bench while you wait.

Maja: How do I know when to get off?

Erik: Look at the screen on the bus. You can see the name of the next stop there.

Maja: Good. I have a big bag with me. Is there room for it?

Erik: Yes, put the bag by your feet so that other people can walk past.

Maja: I understand. Where can I check whether the bus is late?

Erik: On the display board at the bus stop. You can also ask the driver.
