Here's the translation of the provided text into English:
Modern life cannot be imagined without travel, which has become accessible thanks to the scientific and technological progress of the 20th century. Residents of big cities make daily commutes to work and study, using subways, buses, and taxis, and sometimes they travel on business to other cities or countries. For travel, whether for pleasure or work, various means of transportation are available: airplanes, trains, cruise ships, and cars. The airplane is the fastest option, while the train allows us to enjoy the views of nature during the journey. Sea travel is popular among those who want to enjoy a vacation, whereas car trips provide the freedom to stop at convenient times. Bus tours, although inexpensive, offer not just travel but also a chance to relax well. Hiking is considered one of the most cost-effective and exciting ways to connect with nature. Everyone chooses a mode of transportation based on their preferences and goals, and during travels, we discover new horizons that cannot be seen at home.
