Funding public transit is one of the biggest problems facing
cities today. Often the trouble is that a few high-cost, low-ridership
routes drag down an entire system. That puts policymakers in a
tough spot. They might eliminate these unprofitable lines, that has【M1】______
been suggested before, but in doing so they would harm a
considerate number of people who rely on that service as their【M2】______
primary mode of transportation.
Over at New Geography, Steve Lafleur revives the debate and
argues that low fares are the part of the reason transit lines are【M3】______
struggling. In response, he offers an admittedly "controversial"
solution: "Transit should operate on a for profit basis and its prices
should closely reflect market forces—if it means that transit fares【M4】______
increase."
The idea of increasing ridership by raising fares is not with【M5】______
some recent precedent. Writing last week at The New York Times
Opinionator blog, Lisa Margonelli points to a study from earlier
this year comparing transit ridership in Germany and the United
States. Over the same period of time, German transit agencies
grew ridership while doing something similar in what Lafleur【M6】______
proposes—namely, increasing fares and slashing service.
More important than fare changes were the limits【M7】______
simultaneously imposed on car travel. While German transit
agencies did their best to attract riders to a higher-quality service,
the government implemented a number of policies that made
driving "less conveniently and more costly". In other words,【M8】______
high fares did lead to greater ridership on German transit, but only【M9】______
when coordinating with harsh automobile policies—not in isolation.【M10】______
【M9】
选项
答案
high—higher
解析
词汇错误。上文提到了德国通过提高票价和改进服务的措施增加公交的上座率,由此可知德国的票价比以往要高些,故此处应该用比较级,此句的意思是“更高的票价确实增加了德国公交的上座率。”
