Beijing not to restrict private car purchase
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-11-19 21:04 Some residents wanted to keep an alternating car ban imposed during the Olympics and Paralympics which took nearly 2 million cars of the roads for two months. It helped eliminate 120,000 tons of pollutants emitted by vehicles, or about 63 percent of total vehicular pollutant emissions before the ban.
Under the new ban, 70 percent of government vehicles, as well as all corporate and private cars, take turns staying off the roads one day during the five day workweek. It takes some 800,000 cars off the road everyday, according to the Beijing Municipal Committee of Communications. |
