  • Urbanites also have more and better options for getting around: Uber is ubiquitous; easy-to-rent dockless bicycles are spreading; battery-powered scooters will be next.
  • When more people use buses or trains the service usually improves because public-transport agencies run more buses and trains.
  • Worsening services on public transport, terrorist attacks in some urban metros and a rise in fares have been blamed for this trend.
  • It seems more likely that public transport is being squeezed structurally as people’s need to travel is diminishing as a result of smartphones, video conferencing, online shopping and so on.
  • There has been a puzzling decline in the use of urban public transport in many countries in the west, despite the growth in urban populations and rising employment.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The odd sentence is Option 2. It is the only sentence that discusses the improvement of public transport services due to increased ridership. All other sentences discuss a decline in the use of public transport, with reasons and contributing factors.

Thus, Option 2 disrupts the coherence of the paragraph.
