The Sofia Municipal Council has adopted long-awaited measures against air pollution in the Bulgarian capital city. This happened during discussions of new mechanisms of action in days of higher air pollution and increased amount of fine particulates.
If pollutants exceeded 200 micrograms per cubic meter, a full or partial ban on paid parking will be introduced in the blue and green parking zones downtown Sofia. In such days, the so-called "green ticket" will be used for public transportation.
The measure would allow citizens to travel for 0.50 eurocents using the entire city transportation network for the whole day.
