据香港媒体报道,各国政府为鼓励民众多用公共交通工具,均采用不同的方法,但迪拜政府所用的方法应该是最吸引和最有效的。迪拜政府为庆祝11月1日的公共交通日,民众若不驾驶私家车外出,改为乘坐公共交通工具,便有机会获赠4公斤的黄金。
据外媒引述《海湾新闻》网站报道,作为庆祝公共交通日的活动,迪拜民众若能于接下来的一周弃用私家车,改为使用地铁及巴士等公共交通工具代步,就有机会透过抽奖及其它惊喜方法,获赠4公斤的黄金。报道称,当局将送出包括黄金在内总值27万5千美元的奖品。
迪拜除了盛产石油,也是民众拥有汽车比例最高的地区之一。统计显示,当地平均每个家庭拥有2.3辆汽车,但只有13%民众使用公共交通工具,因此迪拜不时出现严重的交通挤塞。
此次并非迪拜政府首次以黄金利诱民众去解决社会问题,由于阿联酋逾半人口超重,为鼓励人民重拾健康生活,还原娇美体态,迪拜市去年推出“体重是金”活动,胖子在30日内每减肥1公斤,便可获得1克黄金。
According to the media of Hongkong, different governments adopt different methods to encourage citizens to make use of public transport, however, the method adopted by the government of Dubai is the most attractive and effective one. To celebrate the Public Transport Day, the government of Dubai announces that if people go outside by public transport instead of driving their personal cars, they will have a chance to win gold of 4 kilograms.
The foreign media cite the website report of Gulf News, as the activity to celebrate the Public Transport Day, if people of Dubai can use public means of transportation, such as underground or bus instead of driving personal cars in the coming week, they will have a chance to win 4-kilo gold by drawing a lottery or other means. It is reported that the authorities will offer prizes with a total value of 275 thousand dollars, including gold.
In addition to an abundant resource of oil, Dubai is also one of the areas that have the highest rate of owing cars. Statistics show that every family of Dubai owns 2 to 3 cars on average, but only 13 percent people choose public transport, therefore serious traffic jams often take place in Dubai.
It is not the first time that the government of Dubai has tried to solve social problems by seducing its people with gold. Since more than half of the people of United Arab Emirates are overweight, last year the government came up with the activity "weight is gold", and overweight people could get one gram of gold for every kilo of weight they lost.
