text: , one of the auspicious advantages of limiting car usage is citizens having a much better time. To illustrate my point, in Bogota, Columbia, they've launched a campaign in the mid-1990's called the Car-free day. Columbians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during work, leaving the streets of the capital city to ellude the traffic jams. Also in result of the Car-free day campaign, parks and sport centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.
