Beijing bans 1.3m cars to cut pollution

Beijing Banned more than one million cars from its roads on friday in a test run to improve air quality for the olympics, easing gridlock but failing to lift a curtain of smog from the capital.
More than 6,500 traffic police were on duty across the city to ensure car owners observed the ban, while an extra two million more trips were expected to be take on subways and buses during the day, officials said.
I wonder what will the people who're using those 1.3 million people will use now. I mean its going to be very tough for them.
