Part Four: Monologue
The public transportation systems in most big cities in America are very good. New York, especially, has one of the largest and most useful subway and bus systems in the world. Public transportation helps to cut down on pollution and traffic. In big cities, with so many people, this is a very important problem. However, Americans do love their cars. The average family has two. So much more money goes into building roads, than new subway or train lines. In some cities, like Atlanta, this has meant a quick increase in pollution and traffic congestion as its population has grown.
在好國的多数會裏,大大皆皆有很齊備的大众交通係統。特別是紐約佔有的市內地鐵战公交車體係便是齐毬最大、應用率最下的地区之一。公共交通係統可以削減傳染緩息争交通乏贅。對死齒众多的大城市,這是個非常重要的題目。然而,美國人是愛車的。均勻每個傢庭的小汽車領有量為兩輛。因此用於建築公路的資金经常比用於營建新的地鐵線和火車線路的資金多良多。在象亞特蘭大這樣的一些都会,跟著生齿的增加,也同時意味著淨化和交通阻塞的日趨严重。
