text: Benefits from car bans are also discussed in Robert Duffer's passage called, "Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog". Paragraph #10 of this passage states, "The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban...", meaning that the amount of polluted air in the effected countries and cities went down to a controllable amount after the ban had taken place. Therefore, this passage is even more evidence that cars being eliminated from public use is a very good thing for the environment.
