And how about those who live there? Are they to be denied owning
a car?

Do they need one? Try public transport (at least in London).

The obvious retort to that is if you need a car because of where
you live, move. Makes as much sense as you've done.

Not too much sense on here so far; many would walk/cycle/use public
transport if those alternatives were suitable.

The snag tend to be everyone wants everyone to use those far more worthy
ways of getting around - except themselves, of course. 'They' always have
excuses why only they need a car.

Where we are bus
routes are being cut so such alternatives are limited - city
dwellers tend to have more choice.

Bus routes tend to be cut if they are little used.

and, by being cut, become useless and even less used. Our first bus into
town is at 10.35 and there are only two more in the day.
