Start the planPassenger boardings on busses almost doubled between 1995 and 2005, yet the actual number of trips made by passengers increased by only 38 percent over the same period. The reason for this discrepancy is that a new boarding is counted each time a passenger must make a connection in order to reach their final destination.
Which of the following, if true, best helps explain why the increase in boardings exceeded the increase in the number of bus trips between 1995 and 2005?
A) Between 1995 and 2005, the number of bus stops increased dramatically.
B) Between 1995 and 2005, the total distance of the average bus trip increased significantly.
C) Between 1995 and 2005, the proportion of bus trips requiring passengers to make a connection en route to their final destinations increased significantly.
D) The proportion of business travelers using busses increased significantly between 1995 and 2005 relative to the proportion of pleasure travelers.
E) The average seating capacity of busses increased significantly between 1995 and 2005.
