PASSAGE
Text 1 — Comment submitted to a transit hearing:
Since the Route 8 bus began arriving every fifteen minutes, I have stopped driving downtown. Three coworkers say they have done the same. The city should expand frequent service because reliable buses clearly persuade commuters to leave their cars at home.
Text 2 — Excerpt from a transportation department briefing:
Ridership on Route 8 rose after service became more frequent, but downtown parking fees increased during the same month and two nearby routes were temporarily closed. Before attributing the ridership increase to frequency alone, the department should compare Route 8 with similar routes unaffected by those changes.
How does Text 2 qualify the reasoning used in Text 1?
