Closest bus stop to my work is a four mile walk to finish. Significant portions of that walk involve areas without sidewalks and highway traffic.
After work, I would add another ten miles to get to a bus that runs 24 hours.
Significant infrastructure work is needed before we can just give up on cars. Including a point-to-point solution that needs to be developed for folks with disabilities.
You are correct, but there are no paratransit vans that run on a regular schedule near, say, Rockford Alabama.
If you work in dadeville or sylacauga then transportation would be essential.
The alternative is to either live a self-sufficient ascetic farmer’s life or to die because you have no access to work or food or anything.
Not saying it is a problem that can’t be solved, just one that is a lot larger than the current system can support without “Significant inrastructure work”
