Hmm, i am not really sure what this means and if it includes public cars too, since many people would be heavily affected. But the idea is good, lessening air pollution and even traffic Maybe when this is implement we will see...
About 80 percent of Metro Cebu’s air pollution caused by vehicles, EMB says Can Metro Cebu residents go back to basics and walk or bike to their destinations to help reduce air pollution? That

The only car-less day for me is when I don't drive to town. Otherwise I drive my car cause its about ten miles to town and then further to a store.

having a car is definitely convenient, but we have tons of them here and our roads are quite narrow in some places

@lady1993 Narrow roads are scary at times.

That's good move but it's only be able to be successful if there is enough public transport in it for people to commute.

yeah, i figure it would be hard to commute if that happens, but cars also add traffic.. we'll just see when this is implemented

Pollution in the cities have increased many folds due to vehicle movement, therefore, it is a good idea to have a car-less day to reduce the pollution. Would not you support this idea?

@lady1993 No body is asking you to walk to your office.

I think educating people on this pollution is the best thing to do! Here we live to far from our jobs usually to walk or bike so a car is a must.

I think this is indeed a good idea. Regulating the cars that can go on the road, can help lessen pollution. Though, another way is going for e-cars. No smoke, no pollution.

are e-cars in the market yet? the government should definitely develop that since it can really lessen air pollution

@lady1993 Not yet. Though, here in our province, there are e-trikes we call as taxicle and we have the e-jeeps here at the mall we are managing.

It would be difficult for distant offices. Unless they have other ways to help employees.

@lady1993 That would be a disaster if that's the case. If only riding a bike is an option.

yes it can, although they replace it with tall buildings now since people and companies need it
