    Imagine if you lived somewhere that your disability would be considered and accommodated for, so you were given an electric mobility scooter or other, more sensible and less dangerous transport for those one mile situations…

      I appreciate what you’re saying and that would be fantastic. So many, far more, disabled people deserve to have mobility given to them at next to no cost and that’s absolutely a place I would want my tax dollars going to.

      I do not fall into that category and I am fortunate for it. I can still walk and stand, I’m just slower than before and time standing takes a toll.

      My point was supposed to be that things like “wait until you hear about a bus” doesn’t apply to everyone and doesn’t solve any issues. With our current infrastructure, for most people outside of a city, having a car isn’t really an option. I would love to walk to the store and back in a few minutes
