Sure the whole day was slated in the media as a complete waste of time and Ireland was a complete laughing stock for the rest of Europe...

For something like that to work ya need:

1: A decent public transport system to take the brunt of people who do decide to leave their cars at home

2: Some incentive to encourage people to leave their cars at home such as reduced price bus/train tickets etc?

Neither were provided, actually they whole thing was basically ignored by most councils as they didnt even advertise it properly.
