Transport For London (TFL), the agency responsible for moving people around England's capital, put 5,000 bicycles in 400 different locations around the city. The idea was to cut traffic, reduce pollution and provide a greener way of getting around London's streets. The scheme had a few teething problems on its first day as people could not lock the bikes properly once they had finished riding them. As a gesture of goodwill, London Mayor Boris Johnson announced all rentals on the first day would be free of charge. The bikes are available for free for the first 30 minutes but costs go up steeply thereafter. Renters have to pay $1.60 for the first hour and $78 for 24 hours. The bikes are clearly designed for very short trips. TFL says it sees a «cycle revolution» happening in London. It predicts there will be around 40,000 new cycle journeys every day on the rental bikes. Mr Johnson says he wants to see a return to the mid of the 20th century, when 20 per cent of journeys in London were made by bicycle. The scheme has received a lot of positive feedback in the first two days. Many Londoners believe it is a great alternative to London's overcrowded and overpriced trains and buses. One commuter said: «lt's a great idea. I've seen it operating in Paris and Barcelona and thought, why don't we have one?» The Reuters news also said that the bikes were very well-built and were «designed to withstand a beating from both careless cyclists and drunken vandals». 1) London first major bike hire scheme was started in order to A) make bicycles the most popular transport in London B) provide a quicker way of getting around London's streets C) make the traffic lighter and the air cleaner D) reduce the production of cars 2) The problem that the scheme faced on its first day was that A) riders had difficulties with locking up their bikes after the ride B) people had to pay too much for renting bikes C) the bikes are unsuitable for long trips D) London Mayor didn't support the scheme 3) According to the statement of TFL, A) there are around 40,000 new cycle joumeys every day on the rental bikes B) 20 per cent of journeys in London are made by bicycle C) London is currently experiencing a «cycle revolution» D) a «cycle revolution» happened in London in the mid of the 20th century
