Although the reading passage lists three advantages of HOV lanes, the speaker argues that these advantages can be eclipsed by corresponding disdavantages.
Firstly, the reading passage insists that HOV lanes will benefit people because it accomodates more persons in a car so that the velocity of car could be increased and there would be less traffic-jam in the road. However, this claim is not always relevant. Driving car with the faster speed may cause a significant accident, since the HOV lanes is mostly opened for the other slow cars. According to the speaker, then, the suggestion in the reading passage does not seem attractive.
Secondly, the reading passage also maintains that using the high occupancy vehicle can decrese driver's cost of maintenance and commuting. This can be certainly the case, but it is also the case that HOV lanes does not guarentee the efficiency of use because of lack of flexibility and timely use of car. As the speaker points out, therefore, the claim in the reading passage doesn't sound appealing.
Finally, the reading passage suggests that HOV lanes makes people relaxed by reducing emission of pollutant materials from the car and congestion in the streets. The speaker, however, raises quetion about this assertion refering that even much more pollution will increase. This reality renders the last argument of HOV lanes unconvincing. | |
