# Overall fuel consumption may marginally be reduced for people may not like to travel in free transport for want of amenities and privacy;possibly private vehicular traffic might increase.
# Where is the justification for taxing people who have private vehicles in the form of parking space fees,road up gradation etc as they are already paying road taxes?
# Cars are also seen as status symbols as well;people who use them shall continue using them and more people would go in for purchasing vehicles.
# Human Nature being what it is, people would like to stamp their individuality in owning cars.You can not quantify human nature and reduce it to mere numbers by imagining to follow ‘greatest good for the greatest numbers’
