Well anyone that thinks street cards should be replaced by busses
because leaving room for cars is a good thing is nuts.  Your best bet
is to elliminate most cars from downtown.  Other major cities around
the world have done it and boy does it make things better.

If transit worked well, people would not want to drive into downtown.
So the solution is to fix transit, not make it better for cars (because
you can never make enough room for cars in downtown toronto to avoid
traffic problems, and the streetcars are not the problem).  If you want
cars to have an easier time, elliminate pedestrians.  They get in the
way of cars all the time.  :)
