    You’re right, it isn’t feasible to always use a bus, thats why walking, cycling, trams, and light rail should also be used. The biggest problem is density. Low density makes it very difficult to effeciently service, yet many north american zoning and building codes make it very difficult to build any housing that isn’t detached single family homes with minimum parking standards and set backs.

        No. There are many more disabilities that prevent operation of a car compared to using a train or tram, so the status quo of car supremacy is far more ableist.

          No one said the individual being accommodated had to be the one operating the vehicle.
