In an innovative move to promote healthy living, the city of Shymkent in Kazakhstan has launched a scheme where citizens can earn free bus tickets if they complete a set of exercises in the city's parks. Those taking part in the scheme must take part in a range of physical activities - including running, jumping, and cycling - at designated parks and can earn a free bus ticket for every 30 minutes of exercise completed. The scheme is designed to encourage citizens to stay active and make use of the city's parks and green spaces. It is hoped that this initiative will help to reduce levels of obesity and improve the health and well-being of the citizens of Shymkent.
