– I was told that there’s a bus which goes to that area from Perry.

– Happy journey.
– Excuse me!
– Yes?
– I would like to go to Byer’s field. Do you know how to get there? Today is the anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo.
– A-a, yes. You can get there by train from Penn Station. There is a direct train to the Alameda station but the train only goes there twice a day, in the morning and in the late afternoon. You’ll also have to walk about 5 kilometers or so from the station to the museum. The bus doesn’t go there very often.

– Извините! Мне надо в Сан-Диего уехать, точнее, в Чула-Виста. Вы не знаете, с какого вокзала?
– Это не с вокзала… Это лучше на автобусе, от автовокзала «Оушенсайд». Автобус идет прямо в Чула-Виста, через Карлсбад. Вы, наверное, не знаете, где этот автовокзал?
– Не знаю.
– Туда надо ехать на подземке. Автовокзал прямо рядом со станцией «Истен дистрикт».
– Подземка далеко отсюда?
– Рядом, за углом. Вон там.
– Спасибо!
– Счастливого пути!

Вариант на британском английском:
– Excuse me! I need to go to San Diego, to Chula Vista, to be precise. Could you please tell me which Railway Station I need?
– You don’t need a Railway Station, you’d better get there by bus, from Oceanside Bus Station. The coach goes directly to Chula Vista, via Carlsbad. Now how to get to the Bus Station, do you want to ask me? That’s simple. By Underground. The Station’s called «Eastern District».
– Is the nearest Underground Station far from here?
– No, just round the corner. Over there, see?
– Ah, yes. Thank you very much!
