-
B: Where are you heading, sir?
-
A: Capital Airport.
-
B: What’s your flight time?
-
A: At 7:50.
-
B: I guess we should get there no later than 7:00.
-
A: How long is the ride from here then?
-
B: Well, since it’s rush hour, I’d say the ride would take about thirty minutes, more or less. Is that okay?
-
A: Yes, that’ll be fine. How much is this going to cost?
-
B: Watch the meter. My guess is that it’ll cost you about ten or twelve yuan, but if we stuck in traffic jam, it would go higher.
