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.
