    Ableism much?

    No. There are many more disabilities that prevent operation of a car compared to 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.

      • @Cypher @Hawke So if you were to lose your vision or develop epilepsy tomorrow, you would prefer to be dependent on family, friends, or personal servants to drive you everywhere rather than having options of accessible trains and buses and being able to walk to nearby destinations safely?

          Not at all. I’m 100% onboard (pun intended) with trains and buses and trams.

          Not sure where you got the idea that I wasn’t.

          I would absolutely prefer a private chauffeur given that I find the general public to be imbecilic disgusting wastes of time and oxygen.
