　　Free Passage on Highway

　　It is said that highway can be toll-free on the important holidays. Minibuses and motor vehicles with up to 7 seats can enjoy this privilege from 00:00 on the first day to 24:00 on the last during days in the Spring Festival, Tomb-sweeping Day, International Labor Day and National Day.

　　Some favor this rule because it will reduce traveling expenses by about 40 percent or even more. Meanwhile, some oppose it as it may cause traffic jams and other side effects.

　　As far as I am concerned, I think it is a piece of good news for private car owners. Not only does it undoubtedly make travelling easier during holidays, but also helps to stimulate economic growth. But it still needs improving. Local governments need to make out more detailed plans while taking everything into consideration. With improvements, the policy can be more sustainable.
