A certain mayor has proposed a fee of five dollars per day on private vehicles entering the city, claiming that the fee will alleviate the city's traffic congestion.  The mayor reasons that, since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare from many nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using the bus.



Which of the following statements, if true, provides [bgcolor=#000000]the best evidence that the mayor's reasoning is [/bgcolor]flawed?



(A) Projected increases in the price of gasoline will increase the cost of taking a private vehicle into the city.

(B) The cost of parking fees already makes it considerably more expensive for most people to take a private vehicle into the city than to take a bus.

(C) Most of the people currently riding the bus do not own private vehicles.

(D) Many commuters opposing the mayor's plan have indicated that they would rather endure traffic congestion than pay a five-dollar-per day fee.

(E) During the average workday, private vehicles owned and operated by people living within the city account for twenty percent of the city's traffic congestion

正确答案是B。。我为什么觉得是D呢。。。。。。。。。。。。

应该是B呀，B说明了市长给出的原因是错误的，停车费已经比bus贵了，那么在弄个比bus贵的fee毫无疑义。
D中，没什么意义呀，你就算不愿意交费，还不是一样要交，反对也没用呀。
