"...The overall aim of the European Mobility Week campaign is to
encourage public awareness of the need to act against pollution caused
by the increase in motorised traffic in the urban environment. In
fact, it is not just a question of fighting atmospheric pollution or
noise but also of improving the quality of urban life.

Accordingly, that operation is centred on three types of measures,
designed to:

* * * encourage the use of alternative forms of transport and travel
other than private cars,

OK, I'll use the van

* * * raise awareness and inform city-dwellers of what is at stake so
far as concerns long-term mobility in towns and the risks connected
with pollution,

OK I'll use the bus, if there were one.

* * * show the town in another light thanks in particular to reduced
motorised traffic within restricted areas..."

OK, I'll use public transport, which doesn't exiat.

Ever considered walking or cycling instead? Or maybe not traveling at
all for once? After all, it is only one day a year.
