Yeah so my crippled ass that can’t walk has to somehow get to the train station, then somehow get from the station to my destination, then back again, often times with a bunch of groceries or whatever. Or I could drive directly there and park in a handicap spot, then have a place to load the groceries into, saving me considerable pain and letting me get more done in a single trip
We do need better public transportation, yeah, but I am so tired of all the fuck cars people not giving a single shit about disabled folks
Nobody is saying you can’t own a car, we are just saying that it should not be expected that everyone own a car. There are also people with other disabilties, such as vision impairments, where a car does not work for them.
I care a lot about disabled folks in general, because I’m a 20-something who’s about 20 years away from being too blind to drive. Accessible public transit is essential for everyone, not just the able-bodied. Car-centric design is choking us to death, and a lack of good public transit will leave me stranded.
