Article - Seoul Revises Bike Path Plans

The Chosun Ilbo, May 16

The city government on Thursday said it will build 88 km of bike paths linking the downtown area and outskirts with the Han River and Mt. Nam.

The city now projects the bicycle paths will save W150 billion (US$1=W1,265) per year of transport costs, and that the bicycles' share of passenger transport will increase from the current 1.2 percent to 6 percent by 2014.
