You're forcing me to labour the point that most people can't make those decisions, because they aren't sufficiently privileged.

Buses use roads too, as do EVs, bikes, velomobiles, etc.

> ban car ads

Fossil fuel cars? Fair.

> ban domestic flights

If we did that tomorrow in Aotearoa, it would result in people spending about 4 times as long to get from one end of the country to the other, at 4 times the cost. I can think of few better ways to turn the public against decarbonisation policy.

> What would you do?

Provide people with low-carbon transport options so they can easily choose to get rid of their cars.

* high-speed, electric trains between all major population centres, like what they have in Japan and China

* Electric buses to every town or neighbourhood not served by trains

* Electric ferries in navigable waterways

All frequent and cheap.

* EV-only rideshare systems for all journies that can't be done by train, bus, or ferry
