2-4. A six-lane urban freeway (three lanes in each direction) has a free-flow speed of 90 km/ h. Traffic includes 10% trucks and 2% express buses. Each truck and express bus displaces 2.0 passenger cars from the traffic stream. If the occupancy of passenger cars is 1.5 people per vehicle, and buses carry an average of 50 people per bus, what is the person-capacity of the freeway (in one direction)? It may be assumed that trucks carry one person (the driver).
