- 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.

Verified By Collegedunia
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.
