今天要教你們去了國外坐地鐵會用到的單字，喜愛自助旅遊的我，省錢對我來說很重要，而大眾運輸交通的地鐵如果坐對了還可以省一點小錢。那我就以我最熟悉的芝加哥地鐵為範例，來教教大家搭地鐵會用到的單字吧。

*Transit

Transit可以當名詞，有中間運送的意思，比如說 Many goods were damaged in transit. 很多貨物在運送過程中壞掉了。

或是動詞，當作運送，比如說 The canal can transit a total of 50 ships daily. 這個運河每天可以運送50艘船。

*Deduct

deduct 就是扣除的意思，同義字是subtract，從一個總額裡面減掉，通常後面介系詞加from。例如你可以說 The seller deducted 50 dollars from the original price. 賣家從原價減去50元。

*Vend

Vend 當作動詞是販售的意思，那販售東西的人就叫做vender。比方說是市集或是夜市裡不管是賣小吃、賣衣服或是賣遊戲擺攤的都叫做 vender。比如說，Visitors can explore vendors' products from all around the world and enjoy the unique shopping experience. 訪客可以找到世界各地的商品並享受這個特別的購物經驗。

接下來是Ventra card 跟 Ventra ticket 在CTA 官網上的描述：

Ventra Cards

Ventra Cards are used with transit value and passes for regular fares and transfers. Fare you load to your Ventra Card's transit account can be seen and managed at vending machines, online, in the Ventra and by phone.

New Ventra Cards can be purchased from vending machines at all 'L' stations and at more than 1,000 retail locations

(including drugstores, currency exchanges and more). They can also be ordered online or by phone.

Ventra Tickets

You can buy disposable paper Single-Ride and 1-Day tickets at vending machines.

總結一下，搭地鐵在地鐵站你會看到的單字有

*Transit 運輸，像是 Chicago Transit Authority 芝加哥運送單位

*Fares & Tickets 票價以及票

*Deduct 扣除，同義字是subtract

*Vending Machine 售票機

*Passes 幾日票，1-day pass, 3-day pass 等等

*Add value 儲值

*Disposable 一次性的，免洗餐具也是用這個單字 disposable tableware

希望你們會喜歡今天的主題，之後到國外搭地鐵看票的時候能更快了解收費方式。
