text: Hiking, biking, skating, taking buses to work these are all things that Bogota, Colombia participated in during their car free day. Doing these activities has been proven to relieve stress and lower air pollution. Cali and Valledupar joined in the event and others came to see the event. This car free day is a day that Bogota started in the 1990s, it has led to around 118 bycicle paths being constructed which is the most any city in Latin America contains. Carless people are more likely to turn to sports centers, walking on sidewalks, upscaling new restaurants and cropping up shopping districts. The time that is wasted in a traffic jam is time that you'll never get back. Might as well use it to do something that's good for you like excersising or spending time with family. In Barcelona, Spain the Ford Motor Company chairman, Bill Ford announced that to conserve resources, lower emission and to improve safety they should have public transportation and private cars and pedestrian biking connected into the network.
