I'm glad this is happening somewhere, banning cars from cities should be something that is considered else where
The problem is banning cars with no alternative is not productive, cities should be rebuilt so cars can approach the outskirts and have trams/buses/ideas I've not thought of yet, take people around the centre of said cities
The ban bit is easy, the positive alternatives are not
- throwaway1892 10y agoYeah, that's in short Paris' problem. The last few mayor all wanted to remove all cars from Paris, but they all failed to provide alternatives and failed to meaningfully improve public transportation, especially since most of the network is overworked. Also most of the cars clogging the roads are going from one suburb to the other and the way the road network is built makes that going through Paris is the best (sometime only) way to go from one side of Paris to the other. Edit: Not all cars are banned, half of them, based on Vehicle registration plate (even or odd number). > The ban bit is easy The ban was made in response to the current pollution problem, but removing half of the cars has a pretty weak impact on air poltution.
- superninja234 10y agoIf pollution is the issue then ban pretrol-powered cars and give citizens 5 years to move over if they want to continue driving. Offer subsidies for low cost models so its affordable for a modest percentage of the population. Not only would this cut down on pollution. It would decrease traffic, and still allow those who want a ride from a (taxi, uber, etc) to continue doing so.
