Haizhe: Hi, I need to buy a ticket to Ocean Station.
Transit Worker: Sure, one-way or round-trip?
Haizhe: Round-trip, please. And I also need a round-trip ticket from Ocean to Seaport.
Transit Worker: If you’re traveling a lot today or over several days, you might want to get a one-day pass or a farecard instead. It’s better than carrying around a bunch of tickets, and you can use it anytime.
Haizhe: That sounds perfect. I’ll go for a 20-dollar card.
Transit Worker: Here you are. It would help to slide the farecard on the card reader at the entrance to access the platform.
Haizhe: Thanks a lot. And can you tell me where the restroom is?
Transit Worker: It’s right over there on the corner. Enjoy your trips today.

platform：站台
