TO mark the 18th World Carfree Day, local government announced yesterday that resolving the "last kilometer disconnect" is among the aims the city is undertaking to make life easier and more convenient for its residents.

Expanding the Metro network and improving bus services and bringing both nearer to people — within 1 kilometer — is the name of the game for the authorities who also want to reduce air pollution.

To encourage people to use different forms of public and green transport — Metro, buses, walking and biking — an orienteering game "Get started, measure happiness" was launched yesterday, with 42 teams of 210 players participating.
