of course if you have the option.

And there is the root of the problem.

Those options are increasingly not available in American cities

    Nor are they available to disabled people. But people like @Michal@programming.dev think they have the whole world figured out because they have the privilege to do so.

    In some ways, it was worse - when I lived in the same city as the dialysis place, before I was driving again, I took paratransit. Although it's a "shared ride" and sometimes I'd actually have a fellow passenger, most of the time it was just me in the van. heh.

    (Although I know for a fact that during "rush hour" they would sometimes have entire groups going close enough to need a van)
