The restriction may be well intentioned but it doesn't change things enough to make a difference. It is one of the most polluted cities in the world and has horrible traffic. Removing one tree from a forest fire doesn't put out the fire.

Then you're saying that you agree with the restriction but think more needs to be done?

you make public policy decisions so much easier--we just go by your personal preferences.
You like trains because they don't slow down personal cars, so the public will pay for trains. You don't like buses, so we'll turn bus service over to a "cheaper" private company that will make people stand on a busy highway until enough have gathered to make it worthwhile to send a van for them.
Tsk, all the money we've wasted on democracy, when we could have just asked you what to do.

I agree. Let's get rid of the cars and be done with it. People will get over it eventually.

It must be remembered that I live in an area that once had The Red Cars.
