BEIJING — The Olympics are almost three weeks away, but Li Yiqun is already wishing they were over.
Normally he drives to work in an easy 30 minutes. But starting today, on alternate days his commute will be transformed into a two-hour ordeal in an overcrowded bus.
Mr. Li is just one of the 3.3 million motorists in Beijing who will be forced to give up their cars every second day for the next two months. The drastic new rules are a last-ditch attempt to reduce the heavy smog that threatened to wreak havoc for athletes at the Olympics next month.
