Because of the advanced public transportation system, urban and rural areas converge smoothly; citizens of England can travel around conveniently regardless of who they are and where they live.
After the Oxford trip, I took a coach bus heading back to London in the morning. The weather is considerably clear; but you can feel the chilly wind in some areas. But the long distance Oxford tube coach bus is warm and comfortable, with all necessary facilities we are used to in modern society.The bus passed the Headington in which I visited the day before, and it only stopped in a few stations before arriving in the city center of London. The landscape is beautiful on the way the bus passed through. Looking out of the window, it’s very greenish and vibrant even though it’s the deep winter season; many areas are like golf courses; beautifully designed and carefully nourished. I didn’t see any people around, but I saw many sheep eating their breakfast. Perhaps there are some farms and villages around. London suburbs sustain a very healthy ecosystem cycle.
A few people came up to the bus from different stations on the way. I observed them and took a guess who they were. Are they farmers, school teachers, or local community employees? Most of them had winter coats like Londoner ladies, just carrying a small handbag to go to the city. I guess they went there very frequently. But I saw one lady carrying a few bigger bags, I guess there might be some goods produced in the farm inside, so she brought them to her relatives or friends who live in the city.
Because of the advanced public transportation system, urban and rural areas converge smoothly; citizens of England can travel around conveniently regardless of who they are and where they live; People from all over places are able to blend into the big metropolitan culture pot more seamlessly. So the nation becomes more enriched and the global city is shaped cross boundarily.
