Committee of Communication says Beijing will upgrade all its public buses to
environmental-friendly ones by the year 2008.
Liu Xiaoming, an official
from the committee, says the city has a total of 18,000 public buses, many of
which have been used for ten years.
He says they can't meet the Euro III
standard, which is the international standard on vehicles' emission control.
According to Liu, more effort will be put into reducing traffic jams,
and improving the city's public transportation network by 2008.
