29. GWD31-Q29

    

Rail
Executive: Five years age we discontinued train service between

    

   Lamberton and its suburbs because low
ridership caused total

    

fares collected to be
substantially lower than the cost of operating

    

the service it is true that recent
population growth in the suburban

    

communities suggests increased
potential ridership, nevertheless

    

since most of the newer residents
own automobiles, restoring the

    

train service this year would
still result in serious deficits

    

 

    

Which of
the following ,if true casts the most serious doubt on the rail executive’s
argument?

    

 

    

1) once train
service along a given route has been discontinued ,there

    

    are substantial start-up costs associated
with restoring service

    

    along that route

    

2) most of the
new residents of Lamberton’s suburbs do not need to

    

travel into Lamberton regularly for shopping
or recreation

    

3)
            if train service
were restored this with increased hours of

    

service there would not be an
increase mcrease in total ridership
        

    

4) A survey
conducted last year showed that few people living in

    

    Lamberton or its suburbs support increased
public funding for

    

    mass transportation

    

        

5)
                Recently there
have been sharp increases in parking fees in

        

Lamberton and in highway tolls on major commuter routes

answer是E.
可是我覺得不對.
如果parking fee and toll charges都increase, 有人會不就付, and so撘train吧=>increase ridership.

你说的对啊，

parketing fee and toll charge increase =》 riding car become more expensive = > riding tain may be better => increase ridership=> it may be profitable.
