| Subject: RE: Cities without cars. |
|
Because the pollution here in Mexico City is so bad, cars are not allowed
to circulate
within the city for one day each week (from 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning,
until 10:00 at
night). This is a permanent thing. The day depends on the last number
of your licence
plate, e.g. if your licence plate ends with a 5, then maybe you're not
allowed to
circulate on Wednesdays (I'm not sure which day, though). Cars without
licence plates
(like ours - we have been waiting for one for over 2 months!) are not
allowed to circulate
on Fridays (not very good if you want to go away on Friday for a 3-day
weekend!).
