• A is true, and R is false.

• A is false, and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

Carpooling reduces the number of vehicles on the road, which lowers traffic congestion (and related problems like longer commute times, higher fuel use, and vehicle emissions), so promoting carpooling, especially in big cities with heavy traffic, is indeed urgently needed.
