Geneva Makes Public Transport Free to Combat Pollution Spike

Geneva Makes Public Transport Free to Combat Pollution Spike

Geneva is dealing with a lot of air pollution, mainly ozone, which can make it hard to breathe.

To help, the city made all public transport free.

This is because the ozone levels became too high, and it was a health concern.

The hot weather and lack of clouds made the pollution worse.

By making buses, trams, and trains free, the city hopes people will use them instead of cars, which release pollutants.

Cars that pollute a lot are not allowed in the city center during certain hours.
