But there are no better modes of transport than cars.

Better in what sense? Have you looked outside on the road for a moment? You'll rarely see more than one, probably two people inside a vehicle. If you're in a big city, you'll have to stop to a red light at least two times. Every time I take the tram, it only stops once to the light. And the transit in my city is not stellar like in famous Western European cities. I live in Eastern Europe.

Ambulances, police, craftsmen, busses, taxis

No need to replace these. They'll just have a better time if normal people would choose bikes, scooters, public transit or even plain walking to wherever they need to go. People are not sitting in traffic, they are the traffic.
