Transcript:

I was fortunate enough to have spent some time there very recently. And it has been an epiphany. I've been talking about it all the time. Malou is laughing and giggling because I've been going on and on about Copenhagen since. It's not only that the fact that since 2015... there is a larger number of bicycles entering the center of Copenhagen than cars, for example. So, it's not only that there are fewer cars because bicycles have taken over. It's like the whole city has a lot more humane vibe to it. And you realize that, especially when you ride a bicycle. So, the first couple of days of my visit, I was taking taxis everywhere. A waste of time because traffic is horrible. But no one is concerned about traffic there. Because it's like, you want a car? Okay, fair enough. Have it then. Be stuck in traffic. It's amazingly humane. It's really good for social connectedness. It's a lot easier to interact with people on a bicycle. It's good for businesses, frankly.

Option 3: "A larger number of bicycles"

Explanation: The text explicitly states that since 2015, there is a larger number of bicycles entering the center of Copenhagen than cars. This directly answers the question about a significant change in the city.

Option 1: "A decrease in the number of bicycles"

Explanation: This option contradicts the text, which states that there is a larger number of bicycles entering the center of Copenhagen than cars since 2015. Therefore, a decrease in bicycles is not supported by the information provided.

Option 2: "An increase in the number of taxis"

Explanation: The text does not mention an increase in the number of taxis. Instead, it highlights the inefficiency of taking taxis due to traffic, which implies that taxis are not the preferred mode of transport in Copenhagen.

Option 4: "A decrease in social connectedness"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text emphasizes that riding bicycles enhances social connectedness, making it easier to interact with people. Therefore, a decrease in social connectedness is not supported by the text.
