BEIJING, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Beijing will maintain its license1 plate lottery2 scheme next year, as well as cap the number of registered cars at 240,000, a local official said Thursday.
Li Xiaosong, deputy director of the municipal commission of transport, told a press conference that the number of new vehicles on the road has been significantly
curbed3 since the
adoption4 of a system in 2011 that requires car buyers to participate in a lottery every month to obtain purchase permits.
However,
congestion5 still
remains6 a large problem, Li said, adding that the previous car
quota7 of 240,000 will remain unchanged for 2013.
Li said different ways of
allocating8 the quota are still being discussed and will be publicly announced after being
finalized9.
"Permits that are not used by winning lottery participants will be put back in the pool," Li said.
The number of participants in January's lottery exceeded 1.4 million. Approximately 20,000 purchase permits are set to be issued.
Beijing has a permanent population of around 20 million and some 5.2 million vehicles, with the number of private cars still on the rise.
