its high residential density, its extraordinarily diverse population, its hundreds of tall office and
apartment buildings, its thriving central business district, its extensive public transportation system,
and its more than 400 distinct neighbourhoods. The

City’s concert houses, museums, galleries, and theatres constitute an ensemble of cultural richness
rivalled by few cities. In 2000 the population of the city of New York was 8,008,278; the population
of the metropolitan region was 21,199,865. New York City consists of five boroughs they are Queens,
Brooklyn, Staten Island, The Bronx, and Manhattan.

 Questions 18-23 are based on the following text.

Should Americans be forced to Use Public Transportation?

by Jack Davis
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon
cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every
American should do so. It is asking whether 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 isn’t 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 that’s nearly 20
cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to be built.
There are a lot of people that can take public transit with little inconvenience but simply don’t 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 than they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. A number of
universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition fees, forcing their students to take the bus.
When given the chance 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 forcing people to use public transit. This is already
being done with the assignment of one 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.
