Question

Task 7: Read and choose the best answer for each question.Tel Aviv is a bustling city with a major traffic problem. That’s why the government has set the goal of building aerial public transport system, named SkyTran, in the near future. SkyTran will run on metal tracks, which are six meters above the ground. Passengers will be able to use a smartphone application to call a car to the nearest station. Each car can run independently and will take riders as close to their destination as tracks allow. According to SkyTran’s designer, a SkyTran ride will cost a little more than a bus, but less than a comparable distance in a taxi. Moreover, the SkyTran system will be energy neutral by using solar panels. SkyTran will be capable of speeds of up to 241 kilometers per hour, but it will run slower at first to get riders familiar with the ride.1. What is the text mainly about?A.
