it’s very clear from some communists’ visions of future city-planning that they expect disabled people to just shut up and die, lmao

  1. some disabled people need door-to-door transportation. public transportation will never work for everyone, no matter how much you emphasise that it is “accessible” to some
  2. if any part of your plan involves disabled people needing to “request” exceptions or “prove” that they are an exception or be questioned or tested or navigate any level of bureaucracy to become a Certified Exception, some people are going to be denied things they need & some of them are going to die

in my city there is absolutely car-based public transportation for the mobility impaired - obviously services like this do not have to be public, but they certainly do if you want them to be universally accessible!

\n

Anywhere that operates a public transportation system (well, that takes US federal money for it) operates on-call door-to-door transportation systems for the disabled. If you ever see short buses or vans in your local system’s livery on the road but never at bus stops, that’s them.
