I think we should literally just close most roads to cars, and restrict the remainder to trucks, taxis, busses, and anyone who would be allowed in a traditional handicapped parking spot. I'm all for congestion pricing and I wouldn't be against a proposal to eliminate on-street parking—but I think a lot of drivers would just use parking garages.

And once you close off roads to cars bus services will instantly improve on account of not being stuck in traffic any more. A lot of cities are investing heavily in specialized bus lanes and the like; not a bad idea as such but it always seemed like a bewilderingly complex and expensive solution. Then again, practically speaking, you will have people foaming at the mouth and rioting in the streets if the "human right" of being able to drive a car anywhere is taken away. You already have people ranting to no end about bus and cycle lanes. Twice someone nearly ran over me on the cycle lane and then proceeded to rant at me that cycle lanes were all bullshit and that I should fuck off with my bike (it's the type of incident that really makes you doubt if physical violence is truly never acceptable...)
