Part of the passage: 
Build a fast network of guideways in a busy city centre and people 
would have a strong incentive not just to use public RUF vehicles, but also to 
buy their 
own dual-mode vehicle

Explanation: 
the text does not mention that PRT can be owned by individuals, but 
makes it clear that this idea is not accepted by private car owners, so one can make the
inference that PRT vehicles cannot be bought.
Question 13
Answer: 
C low pollution
Part of the passage: 
In recent years, the 
pollution 
belched out by millions of vehicles 
has dominated the debate about transport. The problem has even persuaded Califor-
nia—that home of car culture—to curb traffic growth. But no matter how green they be-
come, cars are unlikely to get us around crowded cities any faster. And persuading peo-
ple to use trains and buses will always be an uphill struggle. Cars, after all, are popular 
for very good reasons, as anyone with small children or heavy shopping knows.
So politicians should be trying to lure people out of their cars, not forcing them out.
There’s certainly no shortage of alternatives. Perhaps the most attractive is the concept 
known as personal rapid transit (PRT), independently invented in the US and Europe in 
the 1950s.
Answer: 
E speed
Part of the passage: 
and 
with no traffic lights, pedestrians or parked cars to slow things 
down
, PRT guideways can 
carry far more traffic, nonstop, than any inner city road
.
