Q29:
Rail Executive: Five years ago 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?

A. Once train service along a given route has been discontinued, there are substantial start-up costs associated with restoring service along that route.
B. Most of the new residents of Lumberton’s suburbs do not need to travel into Lamberton regularly for shopping or recreation.
C. If train service were restored this with increased hours of service there would not be an increase in total ridership.
D. A survey conducted last year showed that few people living in Lamberton or its suburbs support increased public funding for mass transportation.
E. Recently there have been sharp increases in parking fees in Lamberton and in highway tolls on major commuter routes.

Answer: E

五年前停止了l和周邊郊區的火車服務，因為較低的乘坐率無法收回成本。郊區人口上升表明增加潛在的乘坐，但是，因為大部分新的居民都有自己的車，重新啟動火車服務今年仍然是嚴重虧損。
