These make for comfortable walking in the hot summer sun. This integrity also makes for easy travel by public transportation. A number of buses ply their way around the city and getting from one place to another never takes more than 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the once charming narrow streets are now filled to capacity with modern automobiles. The walls keep the exhaust fumes from freely escaping into the atomosphere.
Parking becomes a monumental problem.
Cars simply pull off the road and onto the sidewalk. When traffic becomes jammed, mopeds, bicycles and even cars and trucks may skirt around using the sidewalk as a kind of shoulder. The risk of becoming an automobile casualty is very real. Accidents are an everyday occurrence, further delaying traffic. The air pollution is noticeable almost everywhere and the damage the emissions are doing to the country's art and environment is all too real.
