In Paris, authorities have made public transportation free for the third straight day today in efforts to combat the worst winter air pollution in Paris in a decade. Officials have also banned some cars from driving in efforts to limit emissions. These are two Parisians.
Parisian: “I try not to be in the street and to walk too much, I usually walk a lot, but I’ve decided to turn to public transport, such as the bus.”
Anne-Laure Poulet: “I have never been too affected by the pollution, until now. When others felt it, I didn’t. But for the past few days, I’ve had an unusual dry cough, which I can’t explain, a scratchy throat.”
