Abstract
- The article reports on the government policy that prohibits the use of private cars at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, China. The initiative is aimed to reduce the traffic congestion and pollution during sporting events. Ticket holders will be able to ride special Olympic buses for free to the events. City officials and experts discussed a range of possible measures like the expulsion of the city's estimated 1 million migrant workers and shut downs of polluting factories to ease congestion and smog.
