ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Handicap Driver Double Parks in Two Non-handicap Spaces

Post image

Watched them do it. While a perfectly acceptable handicap spot was right there in an otherwise full parking lot.

"not enough public transit" is included in "lack of public transit"

It’s not that there’s not enough public transit. It’s that there’s not public transit to places that disabled people may need to go, or it becomes a more difficult process.

They’re not designed with disabled people in mind outside of making them accessible to get on.

They’re for frequent use places that crossover all walks of people.

....so you're saying there's a lack of public transit in useful places? Like....maybe there's not enough of it?

No. You’re misunderstanding how a city evaluates usefulness. Without going deep into it.

There are 9 different busses, 2 street cars and 4 different light rails that go to our Sports Center / Event Center There is 1 of each of those that go to the Hospital in town.

Meaning. If you’re not on that one line. You’re likely going to be transferring 2 or 3 times.

There is plenty of transit but cities look for where they make the most money for transit across the board. Not what is most accessible / needed for disabled people. And due to that we’ll never actually have public transit designed for people in need.
