Not if it's really cool, like hovering busses and stuff!

Make public transport enjoyable, moreso than the act of driving.

make it free, like it (sort of) is in Rome.

Increase the incentive and you won't need to tax people off the roads.

The new scheme seems to make it cheaper to drive on B-roads.
Theres a lot of talk about "decreasing congestion on major roads by 40%", but no-one mentions increasing congestion on quietr roads by 40% of the congestion on major roads. These minor roads often have traffic of less than that 40% anyway, therefor the congestion on rural roads will possibly double.

The answer to that?

"Lets build another bypass."

They need to provide a suitable service before forcing people to travel by other means/ routes.
