    Also mobility issues factor in. There is no better way for such people to get around. This anti-car movement is ableist.

      Still no. You can stop claiming that now, you’ve been proven different many times already in all the other threads.

        This person has a point though. Typically most people can’t even afford to live where I live, and most of the jobs are 50Km away. The nearest bus stop is an hour and a half walk. Biking is dangerous since there are ditches and no sidewalks on either side and people typically drive 90Km/hr.

        And when you get to the bus loop, buses come every hour. Takes 3 transfers before you get to a train. Then you take a train to a bus. Then more walking.

        It’s 2.5 hours each way if you bike. 3.5 hours each way if you walk to the bus stop.

        If it snows, it’s a crapshoot. Sometimes the trains cease to function. Longest one way commute I’ve had on transit was 7 hours.

        I think some people just need to realize not everywhere is like Amsterdam and has a wicked bike lane and transit setup.

      How many cars have you seen with step-free access?

      And besides, surely there exist no disabilities that inhibit people’s ability to operate a vehicle like a car, right?
