It's a noble goal don't get me wrong, but cars are just way too convenient to get rid of for most that don't live in the central zones of cities. Just things like taking your kid to their swimming lessons, evening activities, going to the tip and garden centre and dropping off at your parents en route, visiting friends that are several villages away, kids birthday party and then going to the supermarket after to pick up some food etc.
Something I've noticed is that people on Lemmy never seem to advocate for busses, it's always trains.
