my dads idea: Ban cars inside cities have giant parking houses around the cities public transport - free - that comes by every 5-10 minutes

I live in the Seattle area and while this stuff isn't free it's under $10 to park and ride both ways. Trains run every 7 minutes and the train will take you maybe five minutes extra if there's no traffic. If you're coming or going from the stadiums it's faster and cheaper than driving to one of the lots close to them. Trains are pretty clean too, it's a pretty great rail line

This one is actually a pretty good idea. Eventually we get rid of the parking garages too and cover everything with railways.

5-10 minutes is forever in some places

We haven't banned cars, but my city did put a park-and-ride lot at each end of its one BRT line. It's pretty great, now the haters get to complain that BRT is a failure because nobody rides it, AND that it's useless because those lots are always full.
