How do you feel about leaving the car at home on Sunday and travelling to work via public transport?

It's as the 10th edition of Dubai's Car Free Day takes place, although this time it's been expanded across the UAE.

The environmental initiative is aimed at encouraging people to take the bus, metro or tram and in doing so reducing the carbon emissions from cars.

It also forms part of efforts towards improving air quality, one of the core objectives of the UAE National Agenda 2021.
