Measures to ease capital congestion

Beijing will introduce more measures to deal with parking difficulties and traffic congestion this year, with the aim to improve satisfaction in the public transportation system.

The capital plans to finish a program to install automated meters for roadside parking by the end of 2019, Rong Jun, spokesman for the Beijing Transport Commission, said on Thursday.

He said the government has already placed meters at 4,086 spots in six districts as well as along 37 roads in Tongzhou district, the capital's subcenter.
