Questions 23-28 are based on the following text. Should Americans be Forced to Public Transportation? By Jack Davis First , let me define what the question is and isnt asking. It isnt asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them complety, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking wheater some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes. Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isnt room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity thats nearly 20 cars worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that dont need to built. There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply dont because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a U-Pass with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs. A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

The jackal was intelligent and understood the situation. He said to the lion, I know you are sincere, but our families could not exactly respond the same level of the friendship.
