Bogota tries to control its traffic

Bogota, a city with 7 million people and 1.5 million cars, has implemented a driving ban for two days a week based on license plate numbers to reduce congestion. The city aims to improve public transportation and infrastructure, but faces challenges such as overcrowded buses and political pressure from lobbies. The plan is unique in its long hours, from 6 AM to 8 PM, and is compared to other Latin American cities facing similar issues.
