Paris is certainly trying. The idea that you need a car to move around a city is probably cultural.

- masklinn 5y agoParis is hardly the only city doing that either, and far from the first.
- masklinn 5y agoWhile a fair bit smaller, Amsterdam is probably a better example here (and it helps that they got started in the 90s). And as points of difference (aside from size), Amsterdam has a much smaller metro network, but a larger tram network (Paris completely shut down its tram system in the late 30s and has been rebuilding it since the 90s, whereas Amsterdam's tram network was never completely shut down, and while a number of Amsterdam's tram lines were switched over to buses in the 40s and early 50s, trams got repopularized very quickly, as soon as the late 50s).
