Cars need to be banned not primary because of emissions but because they are just generally bad in every wy. They need lots of space, even if they are not actually there (parking lots), they are unsafe and the slow down every other transport method and all the utility functions as well. Plus they are fucking ugly.

A city is just 10x more beautiful without cars, and the place in the cities where most people actually want to hang out, doesn't have cars.

No idea what 'people mover belts' are. We already have trains in various forms, add bikes and maybe some scooters to that and your done. Plus of course lots of walking.

For garbage transport and cargo, it would actually be nice to use the existing tram lines. Zürich has something like that but its experimental. But it should be more developed. Until then, small electric trucks are a good solution. Most of this can be done overnight when the tram lines aren't used much.
