Default Beijing's car solution

Anyone see that article yesterday about Beijing banning odd/even numbered cars on alternate days? They reckon an extra 30% used public transport over four days.

Imagine that happening here? There'd be chaos!

Within about a month people would have simply ensured they owned both even and odd reg plated cars

Buy a car with a reg ending in 6 or 9. And adjust as necessary...

Paris tried this for a while. It didn't work in the long term as it was too difficult to enforce.

I couldn't see the DART coping too well with an extra 30% commuting to work every day.
