Re: Should cars be banned from inner parts of large European cities?

That photo is really nice Malvolio. Is that city called "Rothenburg ob der Tauber"? If not whats it called? Reminds me of France and Belgium. My trip to Germany must happen some day.

Galway was never as bad as Dublin back then or now given the smaller size and population.
I know but in Dublin there was no planning for the future in the 50's and 60's. When cars came they took away the trams. So stupid looking back.The population is steadily rising and the amount of cars too.
We still are in the process of planning a metro- something that should have been done years ago.
I agree its up to the individual town but for my own I d be happy with a traffic ban only if they give us a decent system of public transport.
