Fatima da Costa lives in Patriarca, a suburb in the east of São Paulo, Brazil. She works in the centre of the city, near Praça Republica. Every day Fatima takes an underground train to work in the morning and back home in the evening. she thinks travelling on the São Paulo underground system - The Metro - is quick and convenient. But the trains are very crowded in the rush hour and she often can't find a seat.
Jan Roods works in the main train station in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He works for the Dutch Railways but he doesn't catch a train to work. He cycles from his home in the suburb of Sloterdijk. Cycling is very popular in Amsterdam because the city is flat and the distances are not very great. Jan think to cycle to work because it is very cheap, but It's quite slow and it's horrible when it rains.
