Offer monthly and yearly passes that reduce the price paid per rideBased on your knowledge of the law of demand, which suggestions would you recommend?a. 1b. 2c. 3d. 1 and 3

Respuesta :

Answer:

b. Suggestion 2

Explanation:

Suggestion 2 will increase the demand for public transportation because private transportation is a substitute. If it is expensier to use private transportation, some people that before used private transportation will start using the public one. Suggestion 1 and 3 will not increase demand (shift the demand curve in the demand and supply graph), they will result in changes in the quantity demanded (movements along the demand curve).
