    No smartass i will want to get on a fucking bus or tram that provide these benefits and more, with other people that might actually talk to me, help me and allow me to be part of society. Fucking hell get your 1950s science fiction fantasies outta here.

      I dispise tech-bro idea that every problem needs a new gadget to solve it. This issue was solved more than 100 years ago, the answer is more trains.

        Ahh yea the trains my city spent a billion dollars on to build half what they planned, late, already crumbling infrastructure just four years after delivering it that doesn’t have a single stop on my side of town.

        Trains sure are awesome.

            So I should vote right wing then? My city is run by green left morons who wouldn’t know dodgy concrete until it costs then 300 million in repairs.

              I can’t tell you who/what to vote. But I’m glad we agree that the city is the issue.

          Because car infrastructure is never delayed and always cheap right? What are you trying to do here?

        I see you, but when you get old and lonely the second part will slowly become more and more attractive i would think.

        Around here it is. Every local public transport vehicle has either level entrance or ways to help people on board. Also reserved seats close to the entrance that people have to give up.

          All I’m saying is that accessibility is not a solved problem. Disabled people still need to haul themselves to the station/stop and then to wherever they need to go. Even just riding on public transit can be more taxing in terms of keeping your body upright, fighting against inertia every time it stops and starts. Public transit can be great, but you have to admit it’s less accessible than a car that comes to your door.
