Introduced in 2016, the rule has been initiated amid heavy smog and threatening AQI, for the third time in the National Capital.
After the first few hours of the rule ensured smooth traffic, we look at how netizens felt about it on day 1.
AQI of yesterday & today of the very same location in Delhi done around the same time.

Just saw 1 Odd numbered car on my way today. Way to go Delhi. Yes, this pollution is the worst ever, and all the reasons arent in our area of control, but we must do what we can. We must do our bit. Hope the Govt has made adequate provisions for Public transport. #OddEvenDobara

For the first time, was able to reach office without being stuck in traffic. Thanks to @ArvindKejriwal and his odd-even scheme, Delhi roads feel much better and chaos free. #oddevendobara

While many were in favour of this iconic scheme, others believed the real cause of pollution lies elsewhere and that AAP’s rationing of cars will not be beneficial.
