Nobody's proposing banning ambulances. You should be able to take the metro to the club. You should also be able to take it outside of the city and you can figure out the remainder of your journey from there. Reclaiming land from cars would also allow more space within cities for parks and such and decrease the need to get out of the city to escape dickheads leaning on their horns.

The roads are huge because of multiple lanes in two directions with street parking on the side. An ambulance only needs one lane.

What happens more often where you live -- ambulances reach capacity or somebody gets run over and dies?

Fine, two. Two-lane, no parking roads are still only a third of the size of four-lane roads with parking on both sides.

Feel free to spit on the current state of transit; it's shit in so many places and there's no pretending otherwise. It's important to stress that the transit will be unrecognizable from current state if properly funded. If people think I'm talking about them ditching their cars, getting on the existing transit and watching their trip times go up 292%, they'd be right to dismiss me.

Sorry, what's unserious about a car ban in places with adequate alternative infrastructure? Why can't pedestrians who don't want to be honked and nearly (if lucky) run over be able to take refuge somewhere, even if it's only one city per country, with drivers retaining control over literally everywhere else?

When you play Mario Kart, do you assiduously avoid overtaking the leader of the pack?
