I visited Antwerp in Belgium.
The roads in the old city were not suitable for motor traffic. Most people walked, take the subway or the city tram. There were few private cars.
An idea struck me. It is a better arrangement for the city or town center to be free of private cars. It should be served by public transport or town bicycles. Life will be more pleasant, with less traffic congesation. It will also be safer for the people to walk along the roads.
The private cars can be parked outside the city center, for travel to other towns.
In Europe and Scandinavia countries VIPs like ministers and mayors take public transport to work. The fare system is also better , eg fixed amount for unlimited travel within an area.
