Dubai plans Car Free Day

In a move to encourage use of public transport, Dubai Municipality said it will prohibit its 1,500 staff from arriving to work by car on February 17, reported Gulf News. The concept of the Car Free Day first emerged in 1970 in the US during the oil crisis, and now more than 40 countries follow suit. Visitors to Dubai Municipality offices should also plan to use public transport as the car parks will be closed.
