Downtown Toronto needs to ban cars. Sure trucks are needed all over rural Ontario, but not downtown.

- sandworm101 7y agoI assume you mean SUVs, not the cargo-carrying semi trailers. Banning "trucks" is like banning assault rifles: you instantly get into a huge debate about what is and isn't an truck. Is it to be be size? Weight? (Teslas are heavy) Passenger capacity? Whatever definition you use, the results will not be what you want. It's like when london allowed electric vehicles to skip paying the congestion charge. They thought this was going to benefit the drivers of small electric cars. Then came all the electric sports/super cars. Now Jeremy Clarkson in his 200mph electric hypercar doesn't pay the tax while James May in a tiny fiat panda does.
- mymythisisthis 7y agoA few rich electric super cars not paying the congestion charge is o.k., that helps to promote electric cars. A 4ft bar/toll gate across the road. Anything under 4ft gets to pass under, anything over 4ft has to pay. Yes, commercial cars would have to pay. Tired of walking around the city and not being able to anything because of large SUVs and trucks.
