  4.    If neither I nor II follows

I does not follow. It is probable that city 'X' welcomed the order with the expectation that the order would soon be extended in some manner to city 'Y' as well. II also does not follow. That public vehicles have been left out of the order is probably due to other reasons. For example, causing inconvenience to the commuters.
