The city council has launched an ambitious public transport initiative aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. The centrepiece is the introduction of a fleet of electric buses that will serve the city's main routes. These buses are not only quieter and cleaner but also equipped with Wi-Fi and charging stations, making them an attractive option for commuters. Additionally, the council has expanded cycling lanes and introduced a bike-sharing scheme to encourage residents to consider alternative modes of transport. This initiative represents a significant step towards the city's goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2035.

Option 2: "To reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality"

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the primary goal of the public transport initiative as stated in the text. The initiative aims to address traffic congestion and enhance air quality, which is explicitly mentioned as the main objective of the city council's efforts.

Option 1: "To introduce Wi-Fi on all public transport"

Explanation: While the text mentions that the new electric buses are equipped with Wi-Fi, this is a feature of the initiative rather than its primary goal. The main focus of the initiative is on reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality, not solely on providing Wi-Fi.

Option 3: "To provide free transport for all city residents"

Explanation: The text does not mention anything about providing free transport. Instead, it focuses on the introduction of electric buses and other measures to improve public transport, with no indication of free services being part of the initiative.

Option 4: "To become a leading tourist destination"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not discuss tourism or becoming a leading tourist destination. The initiative is centered around improving public transport and environmental goals, not tourism.
