And what's more, today public transport is free only 5.00-17.00, as if everybody is back home by 17.00...
Stupid ****s...
Still cheaper than cars generally so why complain?

Sounds like a great idea. How does it work? Are cars just banned from the city core?
Most cars. From 8 AM to 7 PM.
As stated above ambulance, police, firefighters, public transports, taxis and some professionals (doctors, security) are allowed.
You may get also a special permit under special circimstances (handicap people, ...).
Driving rules still apply, but the speed limit is set to 30 kph for non-emergency vehicles (taxis, ...).
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.
Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers; arise ye prisoners of want
The reason for revolt now thunders; and at last ends the age of "can't"
Away with all your superstitions -servile masses, arise, arise!
We'll change forthwith the old conditions And spurn the dust to win the prize

I routinely drive 30 + miles during certain days. I don't feel like taking all ****ing day to get there either.
Only 30? I live in a smallish town and I routinely travel at least 20, but quite often up to 40-50 miles a day (though never in one stretch) -- all by bike. Unless traffic is a real b*tch that doesn't take more than 4 hours (10-15 miles/hour is quite a realistic and comfortable speed) and is excellent exercise
Of course, Dutch infrastructure is ideally suited for bicycling (with special lanes and roads reserved specifically for bikes, etc). This is rarely the case outside the Netherlands, so it might be less convenient to travel by bike then. But it being too much effort or taking too much time is in my experience only an issue if you really live in the middle of nowhere and even the most basic facilities are 20 miles or more away...

Wonder how many US cities are participating in that anti-car idiocy? I mean, come on - riding a bike around a major city?
What's wrong with that? I do. If I need to go farther, I either take public transportation or rent a car.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
I'll often ride my bike 20-30km in a day. Even living in the cambrian shield, with hills all over the place, I get by fine. I just wish there where less highways and more bike lanes and trails.
The truth is that if people walked more or bicycled more instead of driving their car, they'd get more healthy exercise, would be less overweight and wouldn't have to go on these idiotic diets.
'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

I live in Colorado, the epitome of "we have lots of space, lets build everything horizontally!" Because of that, we're a lot bigger area-wise than most metros in other areas that have a lot larger populations.
Public transport is complete crap (though they're trying to push forward more light rail stuff, but most people don't care anyways), so a car is a necessity.
