Green Friday: Cluj-Napoca ponders making public transport free once a week

The City Hall of Cluj-Napoca is in talks with the local public transport company to offer residents the service for free once per week, mayor Emil Boc announced, according to Romania-Insider.com.

The announcement comes as the Environment Ministry launched last week the Green Friday campaign, aimed at encouraging people to leave their cars at home for one day and go to work using alternative transportation means such as biking, walking, or public transport. Prime minister Florin Cîțu walked to work last Friday to promote the campaign, as did Cluj-Napoca mayor Emil Boc.

Boc said the project could be implemented starting April, with public transport free on Fridays.
