Gov't expands vehicle rotation system to 2-day scheme in public sector

SEOUL, April 1 (Yonhap) -- The government said Wednesday it will expand a mandatory five-day vehicle rotation system to a two-day system in the public sector starting next week to curb energy demand amid supply strain caused by an escalating conflict in the Middle East.

The system will be enforced starting next Wednesday, while the five-day rotation system for the private sector will remain voluntary, according to the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment.

Under the system, vehicles are restricted from operating every other business day based on the last digit of their license plate numbers.

Public parking lots operated by government agencies will implement a separate five-day rotation system, the ministry said.
