Agreed. I have just seen it too often that one is done without the other. As if people could materialize in the city center on their own. Or in the bus going to the city center.

I live within city bounds. I don’t own a car and find little use for it. My parents live outside of the city, they have both no reliable public transport (30 minutes walking from the nearest reliable bus), and no parking space if they try taking the car to connect to the bus. When the city blocks cars, they just don’t go to the city because they have no access.

I keep seeing the same mistake being done and it bothers me.
