A city’s urban planning committee has identified the following challenges in the city's public transportation systems:
- The buses and trains are old and frequently break down, leading to delays and congestion.
- The ticketing system is outdated and often malfunctions, causing inconvenience to commuters.
- The city's bike-sharing program is limited and not user-friendly, discouraging its use.
- Public transportation stops lack real-time information displays, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
To address these issues, the committee is considering recommendations about six possible improvements to the city’s public transportation systems.
