Urban Transportation in Canada

Public transportation & Transit passes

All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus，subway，train，etc.)．The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada.To use public transportation，you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass.Transit passes allow your unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more)．They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.

Transportation for people with disabilities

Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities.In many cities and towns，there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility，such as specially equipped buses.You can find out about these services in the same way and you would learn more about other public transportation options.

Etiquette on public transportation

When taking public transportation such as a bus or train，it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space.Here are a few things to note：

♦Be polite and respectful to others around you.For example，maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.

♦If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle，keep it close to you，preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.

♦Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.Sometimes public transit can become very crowded，but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.

Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways.But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation，such as the elderly and disabled，so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.

A retirement community in San Jose，Calif.，which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis，shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives.Built by a tech start-up called Voyage，the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road，but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles，which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.

When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road，these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments.As these cars continue to serve residents there，it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.

In Michigan，forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles，especially for those with physical disabilities.The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology，saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling，independent lives.

Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation，but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel.The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan，and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.

20．What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles? A．Uncertain. C．Indifferent.

B．Doubtful. D．Optimistic.

21．What is the modified Ford Fusion? A．The collection of social activities. B．The name of a retirement community. C．A kind of autonomous vehicle. D．A two-mile road for self-driving cars.

22．Examples are given in the third and fourth paragraphs to prove ________. A．what are preventing the development of the technology B．why driverless cars are restricted in many states in America C．how driverless technology benefits the aged and disabled D．when driverless cars can enter people’s life eventually 23．What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph? A．The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized. B．The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances. C．The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked. D．Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology. Ⅲ.七选五
