    Now cars are only for the rich

    More that roads are for high occupancy or professional vehicles - buses, ambulances, construction vehicles, commercial trucks - that still need access to Manhattan but can’t be placed on a train.

      Buses --> tram

      Ambulances --> single lane road/biking path

      Construction vehicles, commercial trucks --> single lane road

      Problem solved, no need for cars inside the city

        Ambulances --> single lane road/biking path

        I should not need to explain why running an ambulance down a bike lane is a bad idea.

        Construction vehicles, commercial trucks --> single lane road

        Why would reducing the number of road lanes without implementing congestion pricing be a preferable solution? How would this improve access to construction vehicles and wide-body trucks?
