Today, the city has 1.8 million people and 3.2 million in the metropolitan region. The streets have a bus system that gets used by 85% of Curitiba’s population. The roads consists of two one-way streets surrounding a smaller two-lane street which is exclusively used by the express buses. Buses arrive at the tubular boarding stops every 30 seconds. The city has a garbage-recycling program that separates its garbage for recycling and has 82 sq ft. of green space per inhabitant.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0D5A5808-5997-443A-B297-8D8BD40C6368/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
