Translation
They want to abolish the bus line you always take to work. What can you do to keep the bus line?
- A I participate in a citizens' initiative to preserve the bus line or start an initiative myself. ✓ Correct answer
- B I become a member of a sports club and train for cycling.
- C I contact the tax office because, as a taxpayer, I have a right to the bus line.
- D I write a letter to the municipal forestry office.
Explanation
To keep a local bus line, citizens can join or start a Bürgerinitiative, collecting signatures and putting pressure on the local council. The tax office and forestry office have nothing to do with transport routes, and joining a sports club does not change public policy.
Tips
- A citizens' initiative aimed at the right local authority is the effective route, the tax and forestry offices are simply the wrong address.
