City Driving: Beijing City Government Says September Still the Worst Month for Traffic

The Beijing Municipal Government has declared that once again, September will be the worst traffic month of the year. 

As in 2013, the government has published a list of days in September when the traffic will be far worse than normal, mostly due to the beginning of the school year and two of the biggest holidays on China's calendar -- Mid-Autumn Festival and the October 1 holiday. 

Those days are indicated as September 1, 4, 5, 15, 22, 26, 28, 29, and 30. 

So...leave early. Work from home. Ride a bicycle or take the subway. Don't drive. Don't ride the bus. Try out that new cargo drone. You have been warned.
