When you travel in an English-speaking city, asking for directions can feel like a small performance. You stand on a street corner with your phone at 3% battery, a bus approaching like it has somewhere important to be, and a person nearby who looks as if they understand the entire transportation system through instinct alone.
You do not need perfect English to find your way. You need a few useful questions, some transportation vocabulary, and the confidence to ask someone to repeat themselves. Most people are happy to help, especially when you ask politely.
This guide teaches you how to ask for and understand directions in English. You will learn common questions, example answers, Ukrainian translations, pronunciation tips, and practical phrases for buses, trains, metros, taxis, and walking. By the end, you should feel more prepared to navigate a new city without treating every roundabout like a personal enemy.
Why Asking for Directions in English Matters
Knowing how to ask for directions helps you travel more independently. You can reach your hotel, find the correct bus stop, get to a train station, or discover a museum that your phone map has decided does not exist.
When you ask for directions, you usually need to do three things:
- Get someone’s attention politely.
- Explain where you want to go.
- Understand the answer well enough to arrive safely.
You may also need to ask follow-up questions. If someone says, “Take the second left after the bank,” you might wonder whether the bank is large, small, hidden behind a tree, or somehow inside another bank. Asking for clarification is completely normal.
A Polite Way to Start
You can begin with a polite expression before asking your question. This makes your English sound natural and respectful.
Excuse me, could you help me?
Перепрошую, ви могли б мені допомогти?
Pronunciation: ik-SKYOOZ mee, kud yoo help mee?
Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the train station?
Перепрошую, ви могли б сказати, як дістатися до залізничного вокзалу?
Pronunciation: ik-SKYOOZ mee, kud yoo tel mee how tuh get tuh the train STAY-shun?
Sorry, I’m looking for the bus stop.
Перепрошую, я шукаю автобусну зупинку.
Pronunciation: SOR-ee, aim LOOK-ing fer the bus stop.
In English, excuse me is useful when you want to speak to a stranger. You can also say sorry, particularly in the United Kingdom. You are not necessarily apologizing for a serious crime. You are simply creating a polite little doorway into the conversation.
Essential Questions for Asking Directions
You can use several basic question patterns in almost any situation. Learning these patterns is more useful than memorizing one long sentence. Once you know the structure, you can replace the destination.
“How Do I Get To…?”
This is one of the most common ways to ask for directions.
How do I get to the airport?
Як мені дістатися до аеропорту?
Pronunciation: how duh eye get tuh thee AIR-port?
How do I get to the city center?
Як мені дістатися до центру міста?
Pronunciation: how duh eye get tuh the SIT-ee SEN-ter?
How do I get to the main bus station?
Як мені дістатися до головної автобусної станції?
Pronunciation: how duh eye get tuh the mayn bus STAY-shun?
You can use this question when you want general transportation advice. The person may tell you to walk, take a bus, use the metro, or take a taxi.
You can also add from here:
How do I get to the museum from here?
Як мені дістатися до музею звідси?
Pronunciation: how duh eye get tuh the myoo-ZEE-um frum heer?
“Where Is…?”
This question is shorter and very useful when you need to locate a place.
Where is the nearest bus stop?
Де найближча автобусна зупинка?
Pronunciation: wair iz the NEER-ist bus stop?
Where is the metro station?
Де станція метро?
Pronunciation: wair iz the MET-roh STAY-shun?
Where is the taxi rank?
Де стоянка таксі?
Pronunciation: wair iz the TAK-see rank?
Where is platform three?
Де третя платформа?
Pronunciation: wair iz PLATFORM three?
A taxi rank is a designated place where taxis wait for passengers. In American English, you may hear taxi stand instead.
“Is There a… Near Here?”
This question is helpful when you want to find a nearby transportation option.
Is there a bus stop near here?
Чи є тут поблизу автобусна зупинка?
Pronunciation: iz thair uh bus stop neer heer?
Is there a metro station near here?
Чи є тут поблизу станція метро?
Pronunciation: iz thair uh MET-roh STAY-shun neer heer?
Is there a taxi stand nearby?
Чи є поблизу стоянка таксі?
Pronunciation: iz thair uh TAK-see stand neer-BY?
The word nearby means “not far away.” It is especially useful when you are standing on a street and hoping that transportation is closer than your tired feet suggest.
“Which Bus Goes To…?”
Use this question when you are at a bus stop and need to choose the right route.
Which bus goes to the city center?
Який автобус їде до центру міста?
Pronunciation: which bus gohz tuh the SIT-ee SEN-ter?
Which bus should I take for the airport?
Який автобус мені потрібно сісти до аеропорту?
Pronunciation: which bus shud eye take fer thee AIR-port?
Does this bus go to the train station?
Цей автобус їде до залізничного вокзалу?
Pronunciation: duz this bus goh tuh the train STAY-shun?
The question Does this bus go to…? is excellent when you are already standing beside a bus. You can point to the bus if necessary. Pointing is not a complete language, but it has saved many travelers from boarding vehicles headed confidently in the wrong direction.
Asking About Buses
Buses can be confusing because one stop may serve several routes. You might need to ask about the number, direction, ticket, and time.
Asking About the Bus Number
Which bus number do I need?
Який номер автобуса мені потрібен?
Pronunciation: which bus NUM-ber duh eye need?
Do I need bus number 12?
Мені потрібен автобус номер 12?
Pronunciation: duh eye need bus NUM-ber twelv?
Is this the right bus for the university?
Це правильний автобус до університету?
Pronunciation: iz this the right bus fer the yoo-nuh-VER-suh-tee?
You can say the right bus to mean the correct bus. If you are uncertain, ask before getting on. This is usually easier than discovering your mistake after the bus has crossed a bridge and entered a village with no obvious connection to your destination.
Asking About the Direction
Many bus routes travel in two directions. You need to know which side of the road to use.
Which direction is the bus going?
У якому напрямку їде автобус?
Pronunciation: which duh-REK-shun iz the bus GOH-ing?
Do I need the bus going toward the city center?
Мені потрібен автобус у напрямку центру міста?
Pronunciation: duh eye need the bus GOH-ing tuh-WORD the SIT-ee SEN-ter?
Is this bus going toward the airport?
Цей автобус їде в напрямку аеропорту?
Pronunciation: iz this bus GOH-ing tuh-WORD thee AIR-port?
The word toward means “in the direction of.” You may also hear to or in the direction of, depending on the speaker.
Asking About the Bus Stop
Where should I get off?
Де мені потрібно вийти?
Pronunciation: wair shud eye get off?
How many stops is it?
Скільки це зупинок?
Pronunciation: how MEN-ee stops iz it?
Can you tell me when we reach the museum?
Ви можете сказати мені, коли ми доїдемо до музею?
Pronunciation: kan yoo tel mee wen wee reech the myoo-ZEE-um?
Could you let me know when to get off?
Ви могли б повідомити мені, коли виходити?
Pronunciation: kud yoo let mee noh wen tuh get off?
This last question is useful if you are worried about missing your stop. People may agree to help, although you should still watch the signs and listen for announcements. Your fellow passenger is kind, but they may also become distracted by a sandwich.
Asking About Trains and the Metro
Train and metro stations often have platforms, lines, transfers, and entrances. These words may seem complicated at first, but they become easier with practice.
Finding the Station
How do I get to the train station?
Як мені дістатися до залізничного вокзалу?
Pronunciation: how duh eye get tuh the train STAY-shun?
Which way is the metro station?
У якому напрямку станція метро?
Pronunciation: which way iz the MET-roh STAY-shun?
Is the station within walking distance?
До станції можна дійти пішки?
Pronunciation: iz the STAY-shun with-IN WAW-king DIS-tuns?
The phrase within walking distance means close enough to walk. The exact meaning depends on the person. For one traveler, it means five minutes. For another, it means forty minutes and a philosophical acceptance of hills.
Asking About Platforms and Lines
Which platform does the train leave from?
З якої платформи відправляється потяг?
Pronunciation: which PLATFORM duz the train leev frum?
Which line should I take?
Якою лінією мені їхати?
Pronunciation: which line shud eye take?
Is this the train to London?
Це потяг до Лондона?
Pronunciation: iz this the train tuh LUN-dun?
Does this train stop at Central Station?
Цей потяг зупиняється на Центральному вокзалі?
Pronunciation: duz this train stop at SEN-trul STAY-shun?
Do I need to change trains?
Мені потрібно пересідати на інший потяг?
Pronunciation: doo eye need tuh chaynj trains?
The phrase change trains means to leave one train and take another. In some places, you may hear change lines when talking about the metro.
Asking About Transfers
A transfer is when you change from one bus, train, or metro line to another.
Where do I transfer?
Де мені пересідати?
Pronunciation: wair duh eye TRANS-fer?
Do I have to transfer at Central Station?
Мені потрібно пересідати на Центральному вокзалі?
Pronunciation: doo eye HAV tuh TRANS-fer at SEN-trul STAY-shun?
How many transfers are there?
Скільки буде пересадок?
Pronunciation: how MEN-ee TRANS-fers ar thair?
Which line do I change to?
На яку лінію мені пересідати?
Pronunciation: which line duh eye chaynj too?
In American English, transfer is commonly pronounced TRANS-fer as a noun and trans-FER as a verb. In everyday conversation, however, people may use it casually without making the distinction dramatic.
Asking About Walking Directions
Even when you plan to use public transportation, you may need to walk to a station or from a stop to your final destination.
Basic Walking Questions
Can I walk there?
Я можу дійти туди пішки?
Pronunciation: kan eye walk thair?
How long does it take to walk there?
Скільки часу займає дорога пішки?
Pronunciation: how long duz it take tuh walk thair?
Is it far from here?
Це далеко звідси?
Pronunciation: iz it far frum heer?
Can I walk to the hotel from here?
Я можу дійти до готелю звідси пішки?
Pronunciation: kan eye walk tuh the hoh-TEL frum heer?
These questions help you decide whether walking is practical. A person might say, “It’s only ten minutes,” which can mean ten minutes if you walk like a determined local and not like someone carrying three bags and a secret injury.
Understanding Common Direction Words
To understand directions, you need to recognize basic location and movement words.
Left, Right, and Straight
Turn left.
Поверніть ліворуч.
Pronunciation: turn left.
Turn right.
Поверніть праворуч.
Pronunciation: turn right.
Go straight ahead.
Ідіть прямо.
Pronunciation: goh strayt uh-HED.
Keep going straight.
Продовжуйте йти прямо.
Pronunciation: keep GOH-ing strayt.
Take the first left.
Поверніть на першому повороті ліворуч.
Pronunciation: take the ferst left.
Take the second right.
Поверніть на другому повороті праворуч.
Pronunciation: take the SEK-und right.
In directions, take can mean “use” or “turn onto.” When someone says, “Take the next left,” they do not want you to pick up the road and carry it away. They mean you should turn left at the next street.
Location Words
It’s next to the bank.
Це поруч із банком.
Pronunciation: its nekst tuh the bank.
It’s opposite the station.
Це навпроти станції.
Pronunciation: its OP-uh-zit the STAY-shun.
It’s across from the supermarket.
Це навпроти супермаркету.
Pronunciation: its uh-KROSS frum the SOO-per-mar-kit.
It’s between the hotel and the pharmacy.
Це між готелем і аптекою.
Pronunciation: its bih-TWEEN the hoh-TEL and the FAR-muh-see.
It’s behind the church.

Це перед бібліотекою.
Pronunciation: its in FRUNT uhv the LY-brer-ee.
It’s on the corner.
Це на розі.
Pronunciation: its on the KOR-ner.
The phrases opposite and across from usually mean the same thing. Opposite is especially common in British English, while across from is very common in American English.
Streets and Intersections
Turn left at the traffic lights.
Поверніть ліворуч на світлофорі.
Pronunciation: turn left at the TRAF-ik lights.
Turn right at the intersection.
Поверніть праворуч на перехресті.
Pronunciation: turn right at the in-ter-SEK-shun.
Cross the street.
Перейдіть вулицю.
Pronunciation: kross the street.
Go past the post office.
Пройдіть повз поштове відділення.
Pronunciation: goh past the pohst OFF-is.
It’s at the end of the street.
Це в кінці вулиці.
Pronunciation: its at thee end uhv the street.
A traffic light is the red, yellow, and green signal controlling traffic. In British English, you may also hear traffic lights even when referring to one set of signals.
Asking About Time, Distance, and Cost
Directions are not only about location. You also need to know how long the journey takes and how much it costs.
Asking How Long the Journey Takes
How long does the journey take?
Скільки триває поїздка?
Pronunciation: how long duz the JER-nee take?
How long will it take by bus?
Скільки часу це займе автобусом?
Pronunciation: how long wil it take by bus?
How far is the airport?
Як далеко аеропорт?
Pronunciation: how far iz thee AIR-port?
Is it a long way from here?
Це далеко звідси?
Pronunciation: iz it uh long way frum heer?
You can use by bus, by train, by metro, by taxi, or on foot to explain the method of travel.
How long does it take on foot?
Скільки часу це займає пішки?
Pronunciation: how long duz it take on foot?
Asking About Tickets and Fares
How much is a bus ticket?
Скільки коштує квиток на автобус?
Pronunciation: how much iz uh bus TIK-it?
Where can I buy a ticket?
Де я можу купити квиток?
Pronunciation: wair kan eye buy uh TIK-it?
Can I buy a ticket on the bus?
Я можу купити квиток в автобусі?
Pronunciation: kan eye buy uh TIK-it on the bus?
Do I need exact change?
Мені потрібна точна сума без решти?
Pronunciation: doo eye need ig-ZAKT chaynj?
Can I pay by card?
Я можу заплатити карткою?
Pronunciation: kan eye pay by kard?
The phrase exact change means the precise amount of money, with no need for the driver or cashier to give you money back. It is a useful phrase to know, particularly when a ticket machine appears to accept every form of payment except the one you have.
Useful Phrases for Taxis and Ride Services
Taxis use slightly different language because you usually give the driver your destination directly.
Telling the Driver Where You Want to Go
Could you take me to this address, please?
Ви могли б відвезти мене за цією адресою?
Pronunciation: kud yoo take mee tuh this uh-DRESS, pleez?
I’d like to go to the airport, please.
Я хотів/хотіла б поїхати до аеропорту.
Pronunciation: eye’d like tuh goh tuh thee AIR-port, pleez.
Please take me to Central Station.
Будь ласка, відвезіть мене до Центрального вокзалу.
Pronunciation: pleez take mee tuh SEN-trul STAY-shun.
Can you drop me off at the hotel?
Ви можете висадити мене біля готелю?
Pronunciation: kan yoo drop mee off at the hoh-TEL?
Drop me off means “let me leave the vehicle at a particular place.”
Asking About the Route and Price
How long will it take?
Скільки часу це займе?
Pronunciation: how long wil it take?
How much will it cost?
Скільки це коштуватиме?
Pronunciation: how much wil it kost?
Can you use the meter, please?
Ви можете, будь ласка, увімкнути лічильник?
Pronunciation: kan yoo yooz the MEE-ter, pleez?
Could you take the fastest route?
Ви могли б поїхати найшвидшим маршрутом?
Pronunciation: kud yoo take the FAST-ist root?
It is helpful to ask about the cost before the journey begins. This is not rude. It is practical, like checking whether the hotel room comes with a door.
How to Understand an Answer
When someone gives you directions, listen for three kinds of information: movement, landmarks, and distance.
A person may say:
“Go straight for two blocks, turn left at the pharmacy, and the station is next to the supermarket.”
This means:
- Continue in the same direction.
- Walk past two city blocks.
- Turn left near the pharmacy.
- Look for the station beside the supermarket.
You do not need to understand every word. Focus on the important verbs and landmarks.
Common Direction Verbs
go — рухатися, йти
turn — повертати
cross — переходити
pass — проходити повз
follow — слідувати
take — обрати дорогу або повернути
get off — вийти з автобуса, потяга або метро
change — зробити пересадку
continue — продовжувати рух
For example:
Follow this road.
Слідуйте цією дорогою.
Pronunciation: FOL-oh this rohd.
Continue until you see the bridge.
Продовжуйте, поки не побачите міст.
Pronunciation: kun-TIN-yoo un-TIL yoo see the brij.
Common Landmarks
A landmark is an object or place that helps you recognize where you are.
You may hear:
the bank — банк
the pharmacy — аптека
the supermarket — супермаркет
the church — церква
the bridge — міст
the park — парк
the hotel — готель
the shopping center — торговий центр
the traffic lights — світлофор
the roundabout — круговий рух
Go past the park and turn right at the roundabout.
Пройдіть повз парк і поверніть праворуч на круговому русі.
Pronunciation: goh past the park and turn right at the ROUND-uh-bowt.
A roundabout is a circular intersection. Cars drive around it and leave at different exits. If someone says, “Take the third exit,” you should count the roads leaving the roundabout. This is one of those moments when English asks you to perform mathematics while surrounded by moving cars.
Asking Someone to Repeat or Clarify
You will not always understand the first answer. Background noise, unfamiliar accents, and transportation announcements can turn a simple sentence into a mysterious weather report. You can politely ask for help.
Could you repeat that, please?
Ви могли б повторити, будь ласка?
Pronunciation: kud yoo ree-PEET that, pleez?
Could you speak more slowly, please?
Ви могли б говорити повільніше, будь ласка?
Pronunciation: kud yoo speek mor SLOH-lee, pleez?
Sorry, I didn’t understand.
Перепрошую, я не зрозумів/зрозуміла.
Pronunciation: SOR-ee, eye DID-unt un-der-STAND.
Do you mean I should turn left here?
Ви маєте на увазі, що мені потрібно повернути ліворуч тут?
Pronunciation: doo yoo meen eye shud turn left heer?
Could you show me on the map?
Ви могли б показати мені на карті?
Pronunciation: kud yoo show mee on the map?
The phrase Do you mean…? is especially helpful because it allows you to check your understanding. You can repeat the important information and give the other person a chance to correct you.
A Complete Transportation Conversation
Here is a practical conversation you can use near a bus stop.
You: Excuse me, could you help me?
Перепрошую, ви могли б мені допомогти?
Local: Sure. What do you need?
Звичайно. Що вам потрібно?
You: How do I get to the city center?
Як мені дістатися до центру міста?
Local: Take bus 14 from the stop across the street.
Сядьте на автобус номер 14 на зупинці через дорогу.
You: Does bus 14 go directly to the city center?
Автобус 14 їде прямо до центру міста?
Local: Yes, but you need to get off at the third stop.
Так, але вам потрібно вийти на третій зупинці.
You: How long does it take?
Скільки часу це займає?
Local: About fifteen minutes.
Приблизно п’ятнадцять хвилин.
You: Could you tell me when to get off, please?
Ви могли б сказати мені, коли виходити?
Local: Of course. I’ll let you know.
Звичайно. Я вам скажу.
You: Thank you very much.
Дуже дякую.
Local: You’re welcome.
Будь ласка.
This conversation includes several useful patterns: asking how to get somewhere, checking the bus, asking about the number of stops, asking about travel time, and requesting help with your stop.
A Complete Metro Conversation
You can use this example inside a metro station.
You: Excuse me, which line goes to the museum?
Перепрошую, яка лінія їде до музею?
Staff member: Take the blue line toward Riverside.
Сідайте на синю лінію в напрямку Ріверсайду.
You: Do I need to change trains?
Мені потрібно пересідати?
Staff member: Yes. Change to the red line at Central Station.
Так. Пересядьте на червону лінію на Центральному вокзалі.
You: Which platform should I use?
Якою платформою мені скористатися?
Staff member: Platform two. The train leaves in five minutes.
Платформа друга. Потяг відправляється через п’ять хвилин.
You: Thank you.
Дякую.
Staff member: No problem.
Немає проблем.
Notice the phrase toward Riverside. It tells you the direction of the line. Metro stations often have trains going in opposite directions, so checking the final destination or direction can prevent a long underground adventure.
Pronunciation Tips for Ukrainian Speakers
You can communicate successfully even if your pronunciation is not perfect. Still, a few English sounds deserve special attention.
The “Th” Sound
English has two common th sounds. In think, the sound is unvoiced. In this, it is voiced. If these sounds are difficult, place your tongue lightly between your teeth and let air pass.
three — три
Pronunciation: three, not “tree”
third — третій
Pronunciation: therd
this — це
Pronunciation: this
the — означений артикль
Pronunciation: thuh before a consonant, often thee before a vowel
Do not worry if the sound feels theatrical at first. Many English sounds feel as though your mouth has been asked to operate a small instrument without instructions.
The Difference Between “W” and “V”
The w sound is made with rounded lips, while the v sound uses your upper teeth and lower lip.
where — pronunciation: wair
very — pronunciation: VER-ee
Compare:
Where is the station?
Very far.
A small difference can change the word, so practice slowly. You can exaggerate the lip movement at first and make it more natural later.
Stress in Important Words
English speakers often stress the key words in a sentence. When asking for directions, stress the destination and transportation word.
Where is the BUS stop?
How do I get to the AIRport?
Which TRAIN goes to the CITY center?
If you are nervous, emphasize the important nouns. Even when grammar becomes temporarily unavailable, strong keywords can carry the conversation like a reliable friend with a map.
Transportation Vocabulary You Should Know
Here are some common words that you may hear while traveling:
bus stop — автобусна зупинка
bus station — автобусна станція
train station — залізничний вокзал
platform — платформа
ticket office — каса
ticket machine — автомат для купівлі квитків
departure — відправлення
arrival — прибуття
route — маршрут
fare — вартість проїзду
schedule — розклад
timetable — розклад руху
entrance — вхід
exit — вихід
subway — метро, especially in American English
underground — метро, especially in British English
line — лінія метро
transfer — пересадка
delay — затримка
one-way ticket — квиток в один бік
return ticket — квиток туди й назад
You may hear subway, underground, or metro, depending on the country. They usually describe the same type of urban rail transportation. Language, like public transport, changes its name when it crosses a border.
Polite Expressions to Remember
Politeness is important when you ask strangers for help. You can make your questions sound friendlier by using could, would, and please.
Could you help me, please?
Ви могли б допомогти мені, будь ласка?
Would you mind telling me how to get to the airport?
Ви не могли б сказати, як дістатися до аеропорту?
Could you point me in the right direction?
Ви могли б показати мені правильний напрямок?
Thank you for your help.
Дякую за вашу допомогу.
That’s very kind of you.
Це дуже люб’язно з вашого боку.
You do not need to use elaborate formal English in every situation. A simple Excuse me, a clear question, and a genuine thank you are usually enough.
What to Do If You Get Lost
Getting lost does not mean you have failed. It means you have temporarily become part of the city’s design. Even local people take a wrong turn sometimes, usually while pretending that they meant to explore the area.
If you realize you are lost, stop walking and check your surroundings. Look for a street sign, station name, shop, landmark, or bus number. Then ask for help.
You can say:
I think I’m lost. Could you help me find this address?
Здається, я заблукав/заблукала. Ви могли б допомогти мені знайти цю адресу?
Pronunciation: eye think aim lost. Kud yoo help mee fynd this uh-DRESS?
I’m trying to find the main station.
Я намагаюся знайти головний вокзал.
Pronunciation: aim TRY-ing tuh fynd the mayn STAY-shun.
Is this the way to the city center?
Це дорога до центру міста?
Pronunciation: iz this the way tuh the SIT-ee SEN-ter?
If one person’s directions are difficult to understand, ask another person. You can also confirm the route with a driver, station employee, hotel receptionist, or shop assistant. You are not required to accept the first answer as if it were a royal decree.
Practice Strategy for Better Speaking
You can improve quickly by practicing complete mini-conversations rather than isolated vocabulary. Choose a destination and say the questions aloud.
For example, imagine that you are at a hotel and want to reach the airport:
Excuse me, how do I get to the airport?
Which bus should I take?
Where is the nearest bus stop?
How much is a ticket?
How long does the journey take?
Where should I get off?
Repeat the conversation with different destinations: the train station, city center, university, hospital, museum, or hotel. Change the transportation method as well.
You can also practice listening. Watch short English travel videos, listen to transportation announcements, or ask a language partner to give you directions. Try to identify the verbs, landmarks, numbers, and destination words.
Most importantly, practice saying Could you repeat that, please? You will use it. Everyone does. Even native speakers occasionally need someone to repeat directions, especially when those directions involve a roundabout, three streets called Church Street, and a building that is “just past the old cinema,” which closed in 2009.
Final Conversation Checklist
Before you ask for directions, think about the information you need. You may want to know the destination, transportation method, route, ticket price, travel time, and place to get off.
You can begin with:
Excuse me, could you help me?
Then ask:
How do I get to…?
Which bus or train should I take?
Where is the nearest station?
Do I need to change?
How long does it take?
Where should I get off?
If you do not understand, say:
Could you speak more slowly, please?
Could you show me on the map?
Do you mean I should turn left here?
Finally, say:
Thank you very much.
You do not need advanced grammar to ask for directions. You need a few dependable phrases and the courage to use them before your phone battery becomes a historical artifact.
