MODERATORS
I'm not proposing banning cars or other forms of transportation altogether either. I do propose that we severely restrict (in comparison to today) car traffic. Make it more expensive, make the roads to take longer than by bike, push it all where possible out of city centers.
Cars aren't accessible to everyone either. A blind person cannot drive a car and probably can't commute on a bike, but they may be able to take transit.
If we want car free city centers, we need transit.
Oh absolutely! I sometimes forget to mention public transportation, but yeah... < 2kms is walkable, < 10 kms is easily doable by bike, beyond that public transport. And short range public transportation of course as well for those that can't bike, or for when it rains
