timetable / schedule – a plan of the times when particular events are to take place
- Jared’s interview was at 9.30 a.m. and the timetable showed that the early train
would get him there in plenty of time.
rush hour – the times at the beginning and end of the working day when many
people are travelling to or from work
- Ogasi was so fed up with the rush hour traffic jams that he bought a bike to cycle
to work.

carpool (US) / car share (UK) – an arrangement between people to make a regular
journey together in a single vehicle, usually taking turns to drive
- If more people organized carpools, the roads wouldn’t be so congested.
park-and-ride – a system for reducing urban traffic congestion, in which drivers
leave their cars in car parks on the outskirts of a town or city and travel into centre on
public transport
- The park-and-ride scheme was so successful that a second one was set up on the
other side of the city.
the outskirts – the areas that form the outer edge of a town, city or village, that are
furthest away from the centre
- It’s great living on the outskirts. It’s easy to get into the city but we are also close
to the countryside.
convenient – fitting in well with a person's needs, activities, and plans
- There’s a bus stop right outside my house which makes it very convenient for
catching the bus to work.
independent – not influenced or controlled in any way by other people or events
- I’m so much more independent now that I have a scooter to get around.
