text: Bogota, Columbia has started with a car-free day which is spinning into a big hit. Millions of Columbians either hiked, biked, skated or took buses to get to their destinations during the car-free day. For three straight years, in the capital city of Bogata, 7 million people were able to get to their destinations without the use of cars. As said by one of the residents of Bogota, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and air pollution". 118 miles of bicycle paths have been made due to the improvement campaign that was created in the mid-1990s. Many parks and sportss centers have also bloomed throughout the city due to the campaign and ban on vehicles.
