The country has developed an atmosphere improvement campaign in the 1990's, constructing hiking and bicycle paths to encourage people to go "car-free". For the Day Without Cars, alternative transportation like taxis, buses, and bicycles are promoted, and violators that use their cars on this day are fined $25. Despite the constant rain, participants still turned out, claiming that "It's a good oppurtunity to take away the stress and lower air pollution," (Par. 24, Selsky).
