On this day, the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change calls on all compatriots to abandon their personal cars in favor of alternative modes of transport—bus, subway, bicycle, and other less harmful modes of transport for the environment, as well as in favor of hiking.

Why should you use public transport?

1. Reducing air pollution: Cars are one of the main sources of pollution in cities. By using public transport, we reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances.

2. Cost savings: Public transportation often proves to be a more economical option compared to car maintenance. 

3. Improving health: Walking to public transport stops and cycling promote physical activity, which has a positive effect on health.

4. Reducing traffic jams: The more people use public transport, the less congestion there will be, making travel more comfortable and faster.

How can I take part in a Day without a car?

– Plan ahead: Check the timetable and routes of public transport in your city.

– Invite friends and family: Make this event collaborative and exciting. Taking a bus or subway ride with a company will make your day more enjoyable.

And most importantly, develop a habit: Try to make using public transport a regular part of your life, not just on this day.

A day without a car is not only an opportunity to clear the streets of cars but also a chance to reflect on our contribution to environmental protection. By using public transport, we not only improve air quality but also demonstrate our commitment to a sustainable lifestyle.
