TEHRAN, March 23 - The Socialist mayor of Paris has said she wants to make all public transport free in order to reduce air pollution.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Anne Hidalgo announced plans for a study into the feasibility of free city-wide transport.
She told the French daily newspaper Los Echos many of world's big cities were looking into developing clean mobility and boost air quality by reducing the number of cars on the roads.
Such a goal would require making public transport more attractive, she said.
“To improve public transport we should not only make it more extensive, more regular and more comfortable, we must also rethink the fares system,” she said in a statement.
