Getting cars out of inner city areas is an objective most people would agree with — until they need to access those areas.
The car has been the great leveller of the past 100 years, it has given ordinary people the chance to travel anywhere.
We have grasped the opportunities offered by the car with both hands to the point where the once liberating symbol of freedom is now choking our cities and reducing the liveability of urban areas through noise and air pollution and increasing volumes of traffic.
Larger metropolitan areas have grappled with the problem of the ubiquitous car by imposing tolls, increasing parking fees and expanding pedestrian areas or underground parking.
