[+] Treczoks@lemmy.world -15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children) So how would you get a handicapped person to a specialized doctor in the center of a city with f-ed up public transport? EDIT: The downvotes show me that you don't have any meaningful answers to that real-world problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago (1 child) By investing in better public transport and by investing in public healthcare. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) That would be nice, but with that town, this does not seem an option.

She basically made half-hearted attempts to improve bike traffic (which were not really improvements, neither for bikers, nor for everyone else), didn't do squat for public transport (except that the central bus station is now way worse, and she wants to "start planning an overhaul" in a few years), and the central traffic pipeline, the city ring, is now broken. permalink fedilink source parent [–] puppy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Glad you asked.
