I think they ought to close off traffic to everything but buses in downtown areas of major metropolitan areas to relieve traffic and incentivize people to take public transportation.
I think one measure of the relative size and sophistication of a given metropolis is that of the egalitarian nature of public transportation. In DC, you see Colonels and White House staffers taking public transportation to get to work in the morning, right alongside construction workers and retail staff. There's less of a stigma associated with buses and trains as a result of its convenience and availability.
