'Green' commuting key to cities' health

In celebration of the 11th World Car Free Day, philanthropic organizations and local governments in China joined hands to create cleaner skies and healthier citizens by advocating green commuting.

With the rapid development of society, the role of public and people-powered transportation in traffic diversion has been constantly shrinking.

According to a recent report, the percentage of people commuting by bicycle has dropped from 50 percent in the late 1980s to only single digits now.
