There would be no reason to ban public transportation if it comes in private carriages for each passenger/group of passengers.

There would be no reason to ban public transportation if it comes in private carriages for each passenger/group of passengers. And if it comes frequently enough it can get you there virtually anytime you want. Or make it like an elevator where you press a button and it comes to you. Public transport could be overhauled in such a way if people stopped using cars. Private companies might be able to get in on the game too. Buy/rent your own rail carriage if the public ones are closed for whatever stupid reason (not that private corporations are any better about enabling this kind of freedom). I mean I just want a monorail from San Diego to L.A. that will get me there in under 3 hours for under $20 that runs at all hours of the day and night (L.A.'s metro is closed from around 1 until 4 in the morning)
Maybe private planes could be more of a thing if private cars go away. A plane would allow much more freedom, you wouldn't have to obey road laws, just have to worry about landing strips and if a lot of people end up using planes the skies will get crowded and they will have to be trafficked the same way streets are. Also planes would be less energy efficient since it takes a certain amount of energy to counteract the force of gravity. On the other hand you wouldn't be constrained to the taxicab metric; you would be able to cut across buildings and forests to get wherever you want "as the crow flies" which would save gas equal to the gallons per mile multiplied by c - (a+b) (if you think of the distance there as the hypotenuse c of a right triangle and the taxicab metric distance as a+b)
