单项选择题
London, like so many big cities, has
traffic problems that seem to get worse and worse every year. Tom Jonkins, a
London bus driver, was asked what he would do to improve the situation if he
were put in charge of London Transport. This is what he said: "If you put me in charge of London Transport, I’ d make a num ber of changes. I’d forbid private (私人的)cars to go through central between 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. unless the owners actually live in the area. I’d build a lot of new, cheap car parks near the railway sta tions on the skirts (效区) of the city so that people could leave their cars there and travel to and from work by train. I’d fix a standard fare (统一车费) for all bus or tube (地铁) journeys in the centre, and I’d make it possible for people to buy ten or a dozen tickets at one time at a reduced price; then the buses and taxis would be able to move much more quickly and easily, and life would become more comfortable for everyone." |
