Hamburg, Germany, to ban cars in 2034

In fact cars are all but banned in German cities already.
Parking costs are ridiculously expensive and it is really hard to find a parking space anyway.
On the other hand U-bahn, S-bahn are really cool. In Munich you can get into any place to another under 40 minutes.
