Read the text. Write if the given below sentence is True or False.

In Britain the most popular means of transport is the car. People use it to get to work, to go to the supermarket or to take children to and from school. But in busy centres where there is not much place for parking people use public transport such as buses, taxis and trains. In London the underground, which is called «the tube», is the fastest way of travelling around the city. In the countyside things are different. People travel by car because there aren’t many buses and trains are not frequent.

People don’t use cars very often in Britain.
