CARS IN ATHENS, GREECE Prepared: Živil ė Stirbyt ė IIa

 In Athens, car owners are only allowed to drive into the city centre every other day.

 They must match the final number of their car numbers plate to the day’s date – if the date is an even number, and so is an even number, and so is the final number of the number plate, then they can enter the innercity area.

 This means that 50 percent of all cars must stay at home each day.

 Pollution is measured every day, and when the levels of pollution get too high, all cars are banned from entering the city centre.

 However, as the new underground railway is completed and extended, it is hoped that soon more commuters will be travelling by Metro.

 It may be possible to lift the present traffic restrictions.
