Choice A is the best answer. Figure 1 shows that 72% of public transporta-tion passengers are "employed outside the home," and figure 2 indicates that 59.1% of public transportation trips are for "work." It can be inferred from these figures that many public transportation passengers take public transportation to their place of employment.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because figure 1 and figure 2 do not indicate that public transportation passengers primarily use the system to run errands, use their own car on weekends, or are planning to purchase a car.
