If

you credit the demographers, this transit trend

has

legs. The “Millenials,” who reached adulthood

around

the turn of the century and now outnumber

baby

boomers, tend to favor cities over suburbs, and

are

far more willing than their parents to ride buses

and

subways. Part of the reason is their ease with

iPads,

MP3 players, Kindles, and smartphones: you

can

get some serious texting done when you’re not

driving,

and earbuds offer effective insulation from

all

but the most extreme commuting annoyances.

Even

though there are more teenagers in the country

than

ever, only ten million have a driver’s license

(versus

twelve million a generation ago). Baby

boomers

may have been raised in Leave It to Beaver

suburbs,

but as they retire, a significant contingent is

favoring

older cities and compact towns where they

have

the option of walking and riding bikes. Seniors,

too,

are more likely to use transit, and by 2025, there

will

be 64 million Americans over the age of

sixty-five.

Already, dwellings in older neighborhoods

in

Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Denver, especially

those

near light-rail or subway stations, are

commanding

enormous price premiums over

suburban

homes. The experience of European and

Asian

cities shows that if you make buses, subways,

and

trains convenient, comfortable, fast, and safe, a

surprisingly

large percentage of citizens will opt to

ride

rather than drive.

18. Which choice best supports the conclusion that public transportation is

compatible with the use of personal electronic devices?

A) Lines 59-63 (“The . . . subways”)

B) Lines 63-67 (“Part . . . annoyances”)

C) Lines 68-70 (“Even . . . ago”)

D) Lines 77-81 (“Already . . . homes”)
