Quito Warnings Or Dangers Tips by Maillekeul

Pollution

Pollution is just unbearable in Quito. It's mostly coming from the buses (old ones), and also from cars (olds ones too). Only one bus company is non-polluting : it's not enough, and I don'tu understand that the municipality doesn't give much more attention to this matter, as it's so proud to declare that the city belongs to the Patrimony of Humanity (UNESCO), whereas the pollution has permanent damaging effets on the concerned buildings.

La pollution est tout simplement insupportable a Quito. Elle vient principalement des bus (vieux et sans pots catylitiques) et aussi de pas mal de voitures (meme probleme). Une seule ligne de bus est notoirement non-polluante. C'est trop peu et je ne comprends pas que la municipalite, si fiere de sa cite, patrimoine de l'humanite, ne saisisse pas le probleme a bras de corps, eu egards aux repercussions nefastes de la pollution sur les edifices classes patrimoines culturels et historiques.
