Your legs also solve the first and last mile problem.
- lifeisstillgood 7y agoMost of the comments mentioned very good reasons were legs were an unsuitable solution - carrying art, cameras or other equipment. All of this produces economic value and cannot realistically be carried 5 blocks. If you are an able bodied 20-something then public transport already solves the transport of your body. But it's not just for transporting an adult - it's for children, economics and more
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoI have a funny idea that, folks cannot carry a camera for 5 blocks may be because cars. Folks used to do things like this all the time. My Dad used to carry a bushel basket of corn on his shoulder, from the bin to the troughs in the barnyard, with no apparent effort.
- jacques_chester 7y agoI see children on the subway every day. I see folks with camera or audio equipment on the subway every week.
- bluescrn 7y agoNot everyone has a fit and healthy pair of legs
- _ph_ 7y agoNo, but if we drove less with cars, the amount of people with fit and healthy legs would increase. Also, there are plenty of other vehicles for those, who can't walk, which are allowed in pedestrian zones. As well as exceptions for people being dropped off, who qualify as handicapped.
- mkagenius 7y agoMotorized wheelchairs? No offense
- megablast 7y agoWhat percentage of people do not? 1%?
- whenchamenia 7y agoSo 1 percent minorities don't matter to you? Good to know.
- bluescrn 7y agoProbably 10%+ if you include the elderly and others who can’t comfortably walk a mile or two
