Govt's car ban survey raises doubts

Local car owners are questioning the results of a government-funded survey about the recently renewed "no-car-day" policy, saying the findings might have been massaged.

The municipal government announced last Friday it was extending the no-car-day policy it launched a year earlier. The no-car-day policy will now continue for at least two more years, to April 2012.

The controversial policy has been attacked by some car owners and legal experts ever since it was introduced in 2008.
