From carless days to EV push: The fuel crunch options on the table | The Front Page
If you’re old enough, then you’ll remember there was a time when every Kiwi household had to pick a weekday where they wouldn’t drive.Carless Days were introduced in 1979 as an attempt to reduce petrol consumption amid a global oil shock thanks to the Iranian Revolution.
The scheme was short lived – it was scrapped in 1980, after it achieved only a minimal reduction in petrol use.
So, why are we hearing about it again now if it failed so miserably?
And, are there alternatives we should be looking at closer?
Today on The Front Page, transport commentator and Greater Auckland director Matt Lowrie is with us to break down the idea, and maybe what others there are as petrol prices continue to rise.
