Monday, April 16, 2007

The Gaborone City Council (GCC) in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is working on an ambitious project to encourage the use of non-motorised transport in the capital city.

The manager of the project, Boatametse Modukanele told Monitor that the idea is to encourage people to walk or cycle for a reasonable distance. "We are not saying people should abandon their cars," he said.
