Newsflash...

The Parliament of the Federation of Ornendil is expected to pass a law banning motor vehicles within cities. Citing increased pollution and environmental damage, proponents of the law appear to have made their case to Parliament. The Automotive Manufacturers Association, meanwhile, has called for government support. "It's clear that we need to boost the level of automobile support in this country."

A vote is expected in the night. Upon passing the law, it will be illegal to have an automobile within any city within the Federation of Ornendil. When asked about transport within cities, Parliament spokesperson Adam Mayfair indicated that appropriations to refit and upgrade public transport would be forthcoming very soon.

The Federation has held to it's committment to the environment and the practice of sustainable living.

OOC: Would it not make more sense to refit and upgrade public transport systems before the entire population of your cities, and those coming into the cities from the outside, suddenly came to rely entirely upon them? It might stop your economy from grinding to a halt...

Hmmm, your economy will fall apart. Good luck.
