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 the best evidence that the mayor's reasoning is 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.

进城费超过公交费——从car转成使用公交
Reasoning flaw：不会使用公交（car都在城里，不用进城;已经很贵了，已经转成公交)

答案是B，可以理解。但我觉得C也可以啊，如果大家本来用的都是公交，就不能从car转成公交了，这有什么错？

这个是无关选项啦，你的目的是weaken他，需要研究的对象是现在开车的人，看他们有没有转成搭公交。

C是无关选项，people current riding the bus不是研究对象
