Weaken the Argument about Public Transportation

Many city officials assert that implementing a new public transportation system will significantly reduce traffic congestion. They argue that with more public transport options available, fewer people will rely on cars, thus easing the overall traffic burden.

However, a recent study indicated that in cities with similar transportation systems, only a small percentage of residents actually shifted from driving to using public transportation. Therefore, the effectiveness of a new system in alleviating traffic congestion is questionable.
