unless I have misunderstood the title of this thread is sensationalising.
The article does not mention banning cars altogether but from driving thru.

Problems with public transport :-
These are examples that I can think off and I'm sure there are many others and somehow they need to be overcome either by improved public transport, locations of destination or a way of thinking.

convenience, the times it runs ( either too early or too late)
convenience, the place it runs to and from ( 20 mins to get public transport to start journey, 20 mins walk to get to my destination one finished with public transport)
convenience, the time it takes to complete a journey (car 20 minutes, public transport 1 hour)
convenience, going from place to place in the same day, see the points above
convenience, the stuff I have to carry is too big, heavy
"unsafe" walk to public transport
Rain
