Many urban planners argue that expanding municipal bus networks is the most effective strategy for reducing downtown traffic congestion. However, recent data from several mid-sized cities indicates that bus route expansions primarily attract previous pedestrians rather than drivers. Therefore, municipal governments seeking to reduce downtown traffic should invest in dedicated bicycle infrastructure rather than expanding bus networks.
Which of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the argument above?
- Municipal governments aiming to decrease downtown traffic congestion ought to prioritize investments in dedicated bicycle infrastructure over bus network expansion.Cevap
- BExpanding municipal bus networks is the most effective strategy for reducing downtown traffic congestion.
- CBus route expansions in mid-sized cities primarily draw riders from previous pedestrians rather than automobile drivers.
- DPedestrians are significantly more likely than drivers to adopt new forms of municipal public transportation.
- EMunicipal governments should completely eliminate existing bus networks in order to maximize bicycle traffic.
Cevap
