Mexico City is one of the most polluted cities in the world. Yeah, I know there are loads of places like this around the world, but what is cool about Mexico City is that they ban cars from driving on certain days in order to keep pollution levels stable. Cars are issued with a number plate that states the day that they are banned from driving in the City. When pollution levels rise they increase the driving ban over the weekend.
This is much better then any congestion charge that merely earns the government money but does little to reduce congestion and reduce pollution in the our Cities. I liking the no nonsense approach of Mexicans.
