Furthermore, a significant portion of inner-city mobility could be covered by walking, cycling, or a combination with public transport. However, habits, inertia, and the lack of motivation lead many citizens to use private vehicles, even though this is often more costly and slower. The overall result is increased traffic congestion and pollution.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ce896f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ce896f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run4More is the first free application in Greece aimed at increasing physical activity (walking, running, cycling).
