[sustran] Re: Reducing number of cars on the road

[ÀÌÁ¾È£]

Dear Debi Goenka:

Yes, we tried same scheme few years ago in Seoul. After serious arguments between government officials and transport planners, the scheme has been terminated. 
That kind of simple scheme(not a policy) may be applied under the emergency case such as Olympic game period. Now, the scheme has been applied voluntarily in government buildings. The city govenment's policy has been changed to reduce auto demand by economic approches such as congestion pricing (you have to pay 2000won when you enter the CBD with less than 3 persons in your car), and increasing gas price, and so on.  Good luck!
