Since you mention cars and trucks separately, it seems that you don’t realize that trucks handle last-mile delivery of groceries in cities, after the goods are offloaded from trains (in normal countries). And that any decent-sized city would fall apart in a week tops without constant supply of groceries.

Cars and trucks should be banned within cities entirely.

I agree

I agree! Truck size are a reason lanes are so wide that enormous big vehicles like SUV are popular and even comfortable to use. Subcompact cars should be called a car. Two-seat cars should be called a compact car. And one-seat should be more popular and called Subcompact. B segment sedans should be called family car. SUV should be banned. You got the idea.
But, as others pointed out, I don’t understand how busses as public transport should work. How grocery logistic should work. How firetrucks should work. In imaginary city I described. This is dilemma for me.

The hospital needs an mri machine? Here’s a handcart, good luck!

That’s dumb. No one who opposes cars and trucks in cities oppose vehicular deliveries in appropriate sized vehicles

Mackinac Island is a no vehicles place. With the only exception being, iirc, the ambulance, and the tractor that never leaves the trash facility.
Deliveries, Garbage Pick up, etc are done with horse and cart, or bikes. E-Bikes are only allowed to people who have mobility related disability, and have to get a license.

We have different understanding of “entirely”, then.
