A reason for the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott was

Answer
A
that the bus companies lost business.
B
that the protests were based on violence.
C
the increase in the number of riders.
D
that separate buses were run for African Americans.

Explanation

The boycott succeeded because African Americans stopped riding Montgomery’s buses, causing the bus companies to lose fare revenue. The loss of business put economic pressure on the city and bus companies to end segregation on the buses. The protests were nonviolent, and the boycott did not succeed because more people rode the buses.
