Yes, they don't need to get rid of the car completely, they just need to drive about half as much with a much smaller, more fuel efficient car. Similarly, not all jobs need to be in the city, but if we're actually going to get a lot of people to stop driving, a lot of jobs need to relocate to the city.

Who in the hell is going to go spend 5 months worth of Carbon Tax on a stupid yellow vest just so they can go throw an entitled tantrum?
