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?
Projected increases in the price of gasoline will increase the cost of taking a private vehicle into the city.
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.
Most of the people currently riding the bus do not own private vehicles.
Many commuters opposing the mayor's plan have indicated that they would rather endure traffic congestion than pay a five-dollar-per day fee.
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.
P—因为,收5刀进城费>公交钱
C—所以,人们会从开车 换成 坐公交进城
B:光停车费就已经比公交钱高很多了---说明因为价格转成坐公交的人,早就换成公交了,剩下这些人,收5刀对他们不会有影响,对
D:迷惑!!!大部分反对计划的通勤者,表明他们宁愿忍受交通拥堵,也不愿意付5刀----反对归反对,那如果真的收了5刀,他们会换成坐公交吗?不得而知
E:交通拥堵的20% 是由住在城里的人造成的-----即只是说明 80%的交通拥堵是由进城的人造成的,那对这80%收5刀,他们会换成坐公交吗?不得而知 同D
Takeway:CR题不要过度推理,D和E都一样犯了这个错误。
