Inference about Urban Transport and Congestion

Very Hard Inference Draw Conclusions

A recent analysis of a city’s transportation system highlights the correlation between the availability of public transit options and the level of traffic congestion. The analysis indicates that cities with extensive public transportation networks tend to experience lower traffic volumes during peak hours. Furthermore, a study conducted in a neighboring city where public transit was limited revealed a significant increase in both traffic congestion and commuter frustration as residents increasingly relied on personal vehicles. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend that city planners invest in expanding public transportation.

Given this information, which of the following conclusions can be inferred?

Cities with limited public transit options will always experience high traffic congestion.

Expanding public transit alone will eliminate all forms of commuter frustration.

Investing in public transport could potentially reduce traffic congestion in urban areas.

Traffic congestion is solely dependent on the number of personal vehicles on the road.

High traffic volumes during peak hours will deter city planners from investing in public transit.
