The odd-even traffic scheme hit lawmakers and also rocked parliament with some forgetful members violating the scheme while some MPs car-pooled to arrive at Parliament House.
One BJP MP, Ram Prasad Sharma, arrived on horseback while another, Manoj Tiwari, rode a bicycle to parliament-to mark their protest against the Delhi government's odd-even traffic restrictions.
Sharma, who represents Tezpur constituency in Assam, rode a white horse, with a placard that read: "Pollution Free Vehicle".
Delhi's northeast MP Manoj Tiwari pedalled his way on a bicycle to parliament.
Former Delhi state BJP president Vijay Goel protested against the odd-even curbs by putting out posters and stickers on his SUV against the scheme.
On Monday, several BJP lawmakers, including actor-turned politician Paresh Rawal, violated the odd-even traffic curbs on four-wheelers by commuting in their even-numbered vehicles on the odd date.
Rawal later apologised to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Members of parliament are not exempted from the restrictions on four-wheeler use in the Delhi government's odd-even scheme which came into effect for the second time on April 15. The city government has arranged for buses to ferry the MPs, but not many members are opting for these.

Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai, who travelled on a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus to take stock of the situation, expressed satisfaction over the response to the scheme's second leg.
The MP from Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi Lok Sabha constituency, however, said that he took the bus to mark his protest.
In view of the Parliament session, the AAP Government had rolled out special air-conditioned bus service to ferry the MPs.
Going hammer and tongs against the Delhi Government over the move, several other MPs have accused Kejriwal of introduced this scheme to gain "cheap popularity".
