There is a continuum in this solution space: on demand mini busses / collective taxis with various policies

  Wouldn't those be inefficient? Isn't it better to force absolutely everyone to bigger units thus taking care of unit economies in emissions. Like full-sized busses going every 20 minutes to hour just so they will fill up.

    Good luck to you when you have two heavy suit cases, a crying child and not quite sure where the hotel is!

      We must all make sacrifices in fight against climate change. And you chose to live in city without cars.

        Perhaps, but why would banning taxis(and cars in general) necessarily be one of those requirements? Seems to me a better and more pragmatic way is to dedicate more resources to electrifying the transports and banning the use of fossil fuels as soon as possible. I believe that for a modern society to function a point to point family sized vehicle is required somewhere there in the mix.

          So why not fully embrace them then in cities? Allow everyone to have their own private family sized vehicle? With designated free parking spot too to allow the convenience. Ensure that there is plenty of road capacity and that the travel is not impeded by those with lesser energy requirements for starting and stopping like pedestrians and people using bicycles.
