Sign and announcement
The next stop is Hanford.

Samina
Excuse me. I want to go to Westhall. Is this the right bus?

Driver
Westhall? No. That’s the other way. You want the 19. This bus goes to Hanford and Brentley.

Samina
Oh no! What should I do?

Driver
Get off here. Cross the road and take the number 19 there. That goes to Westhall.

Samina
Cross the road and take the 19?

Driver
Yeah, that's right.

Samina
Thank you very much.
