With a post-1945 POD, is it possible for a modern developed nation to entirely ban the usage of (non-school) busses and taxis?
To show that they've got the ability to enforce the law. Maybe something about environmentalism as the surface reason.I can't see any nation banning such thing, at least not any developed one. Why it even would do that when many would lost their almost only way go from one place to other one?
seems a strange thing to do.To show that they've got the ability to enforce the law. Maybe something about environmentalism as the surface reason.
Not really. Various 'anti-vice' laws exist in pratice merely for that kind of power tripping OTL.seems a strange thing to do.
Vatican City might, but that's about it. There's just no real reason to do this if your country is large enough that you can't walk across it in half an hour.With a post-1945 POD, is it possible for a modern developed nation to entirely ban the usage of (non-school) busses and taxis?
No. Sark doesn't allow cars so not an example.
What kind of environmental policy rejects buses as bad for the environment but OKs privately owned cars? I could see this sort of nonsense in a third world country where the dictator is free to impose whatever idiotic whims strike his fancy upon the populace, but no developed country is sufficiently badly run for this to ever get off the ground.To show that they've got the ability to enforce the law.

Vice laws don't involve crippling your own infrastructure.Not really. Various 'anti-vice' laws exist in pratice merely for that kind of power tripping OTL.
well you could argue that that IS exactly what prohibition of drugs and booze actually achieves.Vatican City might, but that's about it. There's just no real reason to do this if your country is large enough that you can't walk across it in half an hour.
