Take a look at the IEA's "Saving Oil in a Hurry" http://www.iea.org/textbase/npsum/SavingOilSUM.pdf Also the full version "Saving Oil in a Hurry: Measures for Rapid Demand Restraint in Transport". It was on the IEA web site (for free) but they have now moved it to their bookshop as it is too controversial. Extracts: "In most cases the measures have the effect of reducing private vehicle travel, either by reducing travel demand or encouraging shifts to public transit or other modes. The following general approaches were evaluated: ...  Increases in public transit usage  Increases in car-pooling ...  Driving bans and restrictions  Speed limit reductions" etc Hey Jesus,

Heck why stop at Tuesdays? Let's do it everyday! It would be nice to ride my bike to work without breathing in all those fumes and without the threat of being run over. Yes, lets bring that back.
