Programa_hoy_no_circula.jpgBack when I lived in Mexico City, my friends who had cars had to structure their lives around the “Hoy No Circula” program, which dictates one weekday in which your car cannot be driven. The program has been very successful both in its ability to get people to comply (huge fines will do that) and how it’s improved the quality of the air in the Mexican capital. But according to VivirMexico (no relation to VL, but great blog), local government is taking the program a step further, imposing restrictions on Saturdays as well, though only one Saturday per month per car.

According to VivirMexico, critics say the new restriction will negatively impact tourism to the city.
