The passage states that the introduction of bike-sharing programs led to a significant decrease in traffic congestion and air pollution in several cities. However, it also mentions that challenges related to bike infrastructure and safety persist in some areas. Therefore, it can be inferred that the overall impact varies from city to city, with positive effects in some places and challenges in others. Option C reflects this nuanced understanding of the impact.

Option A is not the correct answer because it dismisses the positive impact mentioned in the passage.

Option B is not the correct answer because it overgeneralizes the impact to all cities, which is not supported by the passage.

Option D is not the correct answer because it contradicts the information provided in the passage about the decrease in traffic congestion and air pollution.
