Several ministers complied, but some still preferred the car: “I am convinced that in the coming months everyone will come on foot,” he said. The idea for the campaign came from the Ministry of the Environment, who wanted Romanians to Give up cars on this day of the week and travel by public transport, bicycles, or electric cars.
“I do this very often, I am glad that you do not know every time I do this, that you would attract too much attention, as it is now,” said Florin Cîțu.

“It is a cooler day for this period, but I am convinced that in the coming months everyone will come on foot, on Friday.”

“It will be more cyclist friendly now that we have a new mayor general who supports this mode of public transportation,” he added.
When asked if surface public transport is an option for Bucharest residents to leave their cars at home, given the old, unheated trams and buses, the prime minister replied: “I think so, of course you can. improve, but it is an option. ” I know that the tram parking in Bucharest will already be renovated and the situation will surely improve ”.
