Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer to the questions.
TRAFFIC IN OUR CITIES
The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes
many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of
accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to
change their habits and leave their cars at home.

One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing
charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition,
drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This
system, known as ‘road pricing’, is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a
special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.
Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the
city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their
passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey.
Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get
people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable,
convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.

A. increasing parking fees.

D. using a special elictronic card.

A. is already applied in some cities.
B. is a system aiming at making driving more expensive.
