Banning is ridiculous. If you want people to take public transport make it ridiculously good so that the car will seem worse everytime. You know, Japan does not ban cars in city centers and they don't need too.
Japan does not need to ban cars because it is incredibly expensive to own a car in Tokyo. So either you ban it or you make it so expensive that only the rich can afford a car. Either way works for me.
Speed limits are low across the board, and there’s tons of traffic calming such that a trip by car is often slower than by train or bike.
Yes, Tokyo has the best public transport in the world, but people would still choose cars if they were faster and cheaper.
thats the point, cars would not be faster and cheaper to move around in Tokyo.
Tokyo intentionally makes cars slow.
