Beijingers suggest ways to un-jam city

As local government calls for input, residents share ideas to cut congestion

With the public feedback period for the recently released draft plan to deal with the capital's congestion ending on Sunday, Beijingers are offering up their suggestions for how the city can put the brakes on its traffic problem.

The draft plan, which was opened for public comment from Dec 13 to 19, outlined several measures, including traffic controls according to the last number of a car's license plate and more special lanes designated for public trasport, as well as prohibiting new government vehicles for the coming five years.
