>Are you suggesting disabled people receive a regular fixed sum from the government, or that they'd have to individually apply each trip for the compensation? In France you get both. A fixed sum for your handicap+a bit more money if you have rent to pay, which amount to +/- minimum wage(which is very livable in most cities besides Paris) And you get free cabs/transportation, my neighbor's kid get a cab every day of the week without having to pay a cent, same for a lot of kids in special ed, cancer patients, any serious disease even temporary mean you can get free cabs.
