Option A - INCORRECT.
It is incorrect to assume that mass transportation is becoming more popular as gasoline price continue to increase. Th e reason is because gasoline must increase as mass transportation gains popularity. Although no such thing as gasoline nor its price was stated in the conclusion.

Option B - INCORRECT.
Basing assumption from the conclusion, it is incorrect to think that many cities that invested in new packing facilities have witnessed increased usage of mass transportation with reasons being that the system is yet to be adopted by any community.

Option C - INCORRECT.
From the above conclusion it is false to say that there are other ways to increase the use of mass transportation, reduce the number of commuters and encourage alternative travel methods. However, those means are not realistic or viable hence not being included in the conclusion.

Option D - CORRECT.
Considering the above conclusion, it is correct that some fraction of the prospective increase in the use of mass transportation and reduction of the number of commuters can be realized following stated and viable system.

Option E - INCORRECT.
It is untrue to say that parking is the most critical issue for most local communities, reason being that well planned passenger car packing can always be provided for such communities.
