Questions 21-22
Choose two letters A-E.

Write your answers in boxes 21-22 on your answer sheet.

Which TWO factors most strongly predict tram-network success?
  1. separate tram lanes
  2. single tickets for trams, buses and metro
  3. many stops along each route
  4. discounted off-peak fares
  5. accessible low-floor vehicles

21

22

(A) is correct. Daniel says dedicated lanes are the single most important factor, and Maya agrees.

(B) is correct. The recording supports this option: single tickets for trams, buses and metro.

(C) is incorrect. Stop density matters less after controlling for fare integration.

(D) is incorrect. Stop density, off-peak discounts, and low-floor vehicles are all described as weaker or non-distinguishing factors.

(E) is incorrect. Stop density, off-peak discounts, and low-floor vehicles are all described as weaker or non-distinguishing factors.

Associated Text:
Once they are kept out of traffic, reliability improves, and people seem much more willing to use them.

(A) is correct. Daniel says dedicated lanes are the single most important factor, and Maya agrees.

(B) is correct. The recording supports this option: single tickets for trams, buses and metro.

(C) is incorrect. Stop density matters less after controlling for fare integration.

(D) is incorrect. Stop density, off-peak discounts, and low-floor vehicles are all described as weaker or non-distinguishing factors.

(E) is incorrect. Stop density, off-peak discounts, and low-floor vehicles are all described as weaker or non-distinguishing factors.

Associated Text:
In cities where one ticket covers the tram, bus and metro, passengers treat the tram as part of the whole journey.

Questions 23-24
Choose two letters A-E.

Write your answers in boxes 23-24 on your answer sheet.

Which TWO recommendations will they make for new tram networks?
  1. never run trams on shared roads
  2. start with one frequent line, then expand
  3. align routes with housing density
  4. use low-floor vehicles from the start
  5. charge one flat fare

23

24

(A) is incorrect. They say successful networks can share central streets.

(B) is correct. Daniel recommends that a new network open with one very high-frequency line before expanding, and Maya agrees.

(C) is correct. The recording supports this option: align routes with housing density.

(D) is incorrect. The students reject those as leading recommendations.

(E) is incorrect. The students reject those as leading recommendations.

Associated Text:
The systems that began with one frequent, reliable corridor had something solid to build on.

(A) is incorrect. They say successful networks can share central streets.

(B) is correct. Daniel recommends that a new network open with one very high-frequency line before expanding, and Maya agrees.

(C) is correct. The recording supports this option: align routes with housing density.

(D) is incorrect. The students reject those as leading recommendations.

(E) is incorrect. The students reject those as leading recommendations.

Associated Text:
If the housing is too spread out, a tram line looks impressive on a map but does not attract enough daily passengers.

Questions 25-30
What do the students say about each city's tram network?
  1. disappointing extension
  2. unexpectedly profitable
  3. ridership has plateaued
  4. well-designed network
  5. should run more frequently
  6. they disagree on why it succeeds
  7. expanded too quickly

Write the correct letter A-G next to questions 25-30.

25. Melbourne

26. Lisbon

27. Vienna

28. Toronto

29. Edinburgh

30. Bordeaux

The correct answer is D because Melbourne is described as the largest tram network in the world, with a clear grid, predictable frequencies, and dedicated lanes on central routes, making it a well-designed network.

Associated Text:
It is enormous, but it does not feel chaotic. The routes form a clear grid, central sections often have their own space, and people can work out when the next tram is likely to come.

The correct answer is B because Lisbon is described as having become extremely and surprisingly profitable because of tourist demand.

Associated Text:
You'd expect those old hill trams to be kept mainly for nostalgia, or even to have disappeared, but visitors have turned them into a serious earner for the city.

The correct answer is F because the students agree Vienna performs well but disagree about whether frequency or dense urban form explains its success.

Associated Text:
We both agree it works brilliantly, but not on the explanation.

The correct answer is C because Toronto's ridership has levelled off and has hardly grown for about a decade.

Associated Text:
It hasn't collapsed, but it hasn't really climbed either, even while the city has kept growing.

The correct answer is A because Edinburgh's recent extension is described as poor, with lower-than-projected ridership and reliability complaints.

Associated Text:
the Newhaven extension has not yet repaired the reputation. The early reviews talk about weak passenger numbers and reliability problems.

The correct answer is G because Bordeaux expanded very rapidly into branches where demand was not strong enough, so growth ran ahead of demand.

Associated Text:
The first phase was strong, but then the city added branches faster than demand could justify. Some of the newer lines run into areas where there just aren't enough regular riders.

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the conversation.
