Expert suggests Beijing restrict private car use
People's Daily / Jan. 1
A Chinese energy expert has suggested Beijing restricts the use of private cars and improves and expands public transport to achieve a sustainable development."The government should restrict private car use by economic means, but not by administrative or quantitative means," said Zha Daojiong, director of the Center for International Energy Security with the People's University of China.He explained that the government should raise the cost of driving private cars, such as lifting oil prices and other charges, to restrict private cars, but not simply cut the number of private cars through imposing restrictions on car emissions."The capital city should also greatly boost public transport," he said.
