Yeh right!!!
Coming soon to a United States near you.
Ping.
Can’t wait to hear what Jeremy Clarkson says about this.
Their economies will just crumble even more. I guess they enjoyed those riots.
This will create cities that are donut shaped - the inner, car-free zone will be left by business, retail and homes and they will relocate to the suburbs that are not car-free.
This has got to be from “The Onion”

The only thing government knows how to do is steal liberty.
Ripe for Sharia.
I have long maintained that human liberty, welfare and happiness would be advanced by large-scale slaughter of the governing class in at least half of the countries of the world. I cannot describe how painful it is to see Europe take steps towards that unhappy condition.
Those who would presume to rule us must never be allowed to lose their fear of the mob.
LOL hahaha as if by then anyone there would be able to afford one, or the fuel to power one, or the electricity to turn on any lights or.......
There are some cities that require a special decal to enter the more bbusy areas of central dowtowns. This isn’t really new or that bad as far as I can see.
Unless they ban all vehicles using internal combustion engines, their actions will create an underground industry of people buying “passenger” trips, “illegally”, from those who transport goods commercially by roads.
Ungland...All this is designed to cut the cost of China using more oil. Without intervention, China’s increased use of oil would drive up it’s price, which we can see happening. If the developed western nations that are heavy users, namely the U.S. and Europe, can drastically curb their consumption, it will allow China to buy more oil at a given market level. What China is not getting is that since they are just starting to have “the masses” acquire cars, they have an opportunity to design their transportation system to use primarily trains for commuting. This would not resemble the western nations so closely, but it would give them - and the rest of the world - a much more attractive future. We use make great use of trains for commuting to NYC, as well as buses; that’s the model they should use. If everyone who works in NYC attempted to drive their car to the city on the same day, many would not make it in before they had to start for home, as there is just not enough capacity. Since everything is walkable in Manhattan, it is far more convenient to use mass transit. For densely populated areas, mass transit efficiency is pronounced, for rural areas, it makes very little sense. For a nation of 1 billion with very few automobiles, it does not make much sense to start building automobile-based transportation in urban areas.
