Were you ever in Paris? There is public transport literally everywhere.

Were you ever in Paris? There is public transport literally everywhere.
- ekianjo 6y agoYeah, and most of it lacks proper support such as escalators, elevators - long flights of stairs are not for everyone. Accessibility matters.
- stdbrouw 6y agoAccessibility matters, that's true, but last I checked private cars aren't that great if you're in a wheelchair either.
- hartator 6y agoYou can literally drive your car in a wheelchair.
- officeplant 6y agoHad a BoyScout leader who was wheelchair bound with a car modified to be driven with only hands. It was a pretty fun learning experience when he let us take it around the parking lot a few times. I'm lucky enough to have a decent job in a fairly rural area and a cheap car that I can easily maintain. At one point I was even a car enthusiast that liked doing modifications. I still think society as a whole should be progressing towards a carless future. Although I'd appreciate it if VR tech was advanced enough to let me drive around in virtual classic cars by that point with feel and smell.
- Scoundreller 6y agoThe general advice I’ve heard to anyone needing accessible access is to move out of Paris for at least the next few hundred years. Transit isn’t the only issue.
- wooger 6y agoIt's not worth shitting up the entire (and old) mass transit system to enable a tiny number of people to use it - I'd support subsidised taxis for people unable to use the metro.
- bluGill 6y agoyou need to remodel anyway, or things get old and break. If you are not upgrading regularly anyway because of this you have a problem.
