With 10,600 bicycles in circulation, Paris city officials are hoping the program will provide people with more environmentally friendly transportation.
It seems both Parisians and tourists are taking advantage of the program. Since its launch a little over two weeks ago, Velib has already seen almost half a million rentals. And, with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months, city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.
Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Velib’ s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often. "It’s a real pleasure—when, like me, you don’t have space enough in your flat to have your own bike—to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to take the subway," he said.
As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and, thus, lower pollution by 2020. Apart from its environmental benefits, Velib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.
Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles. Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New York, which launched a five-day trial program last month, are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.
However, it remains to be seen whether people’ s acceptance of these programs is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项
A、There will be 700 stations in one year’s time.
B、There will be over 20,000 bikes in use in a year.
C、In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals.
D、There will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.
答案
B
解析
细节题。第二段中说,这个项目在两周之前开始,Velib已经收到了50万的租金。正在准备在未来12个月,新增10 000辆自行车和700个车站,希望年底可以有20万的固定用户。A中应该是新增700。B正确。C项数字错误。D项是20万的固定用户,而不是租金。故选B。
