Utrecht is fantastic and even if you get to the city by car, the most convenient is to drop it in the park and ride outside for 7 euros a day including public transport to the center.

All cities should have a downtown where the only vehicles are taxis and buses and some neighbour.

The neighbourhoods around the center are also designed in a way that crossing them by car is possible but very inconvenient. Going from Lombok to Wittevrouwen is always around 10 minutes by bike but can be more than 30 by car during busy hours.

Parking outside the city at P+R Westraven and then taking a tram to the client took 20 minutes, going directly to the client by car was 10 minutes. So I would just drive there directly, as it was faster and much more convenient than having to switch from car to tram and then walking 10 minutes for the final leg.

If Utrecht would invest in better public transit that would lower the amount of cars significantly, I assume. If the P+R was a better option I would for sure have taken it.
