public transportation

by Ozlemg » Thu Jun 09, 2011 4:14 am
The city's public transportation system should be removed from the jurisdiction of the municipal government, which finds it politically impossible either to raise fares or to institute cost-saving reductions in service. If public transportation were handled by a private firm, profits would be vigorously pursued, thereby eliminating the necessity for covering operating costs with government funds.
The statements above best support the conclusion that

A the private firms that would handle public transportation would have experience in the transportation industry
B political considerations would not prevent private firms from ensuring that revenues cover operating costs
C private firms would receive government funding if it were needed to cover operating costs
D the public would approve the cost-cutting actions taken by the private firm
E the municipal government would not be resigned to accumulating merely enough income to cover costs


why not D?
