text: The car-free day is spinning into a big hit in bogota Andrew selsky stated, in a program thats set to spread to other countries, milions of clombians hiked biked skated or took buses to work during a car-free day. This was the third year straight cars have ben banned with only busses and taxis permitted for the day wthout cars in this capital city of 7 million poeple that alot right.? ye sthe goal is to promote alternitive transportation and reduce smog. Everyone who wanted to break this rule faced a $25 fine. It was a good oppritunity to take away the sress and lower air pollution. Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city, more sidewalks, nice smooth ones, new restaurants, upscale shopping. alot of new stuff after stooping all car popoulution. you may have lost a everyday resorce everybody is used to but it all got replaced by something way better you even got new things built thats alot better than a dirty city.
