Oh here they just make it increasingly harder to use a car inside the city without a matching increase in public transportation offer and seemingly bank on everyone becoming a cyclist or using these dumb motorized scooters things.

And given how annoying certain cyclists can be (not all of them, but many are) that ain't looking good.

Same in my area. They introduce meters, take away free parking areas, lower the speed limits, ban left turns off main streets.

But they don't fix the sidewalks, they don't make a nice alcove for the bus stops, they have the trains but you need to pay a fortune to get to them in parking, they don't install bike lanes, they treat little paths in woods like suburban streets, and they don't have the crosswalks sorted.

Meanwhile Walmart lets me park for free.

I like how they made my street a one way street that changes way at each intersection, making it impossible to drive in straight lines. They also keep demolishing ugly concrete roundabouts to then rebuild a similar, just as ugly, vegetation-less concrete roundabout.
