The problem is not well defined; so I will solve the problem with the simplest interpretation.
There are 14 seats and 13 people, so there is 1 empty seat somewhere. It can be in any 1 of the 3 cars -- so there are 3 ways for the people to get to the soccer match.
If that is not what you wanted to ask, then re-post the question, making it clear what the question is.
