Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts. City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social

Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

You can see the next bus time by clicking the bus stop on Google maps. I expect someone is charging TfWM for it.

Sounds like your socially liberal relatively enlightened neighbours just want to drive everywhere as quick as possible even if it causes misery to others.

A farmer on Radio 4 just said "two sheepdogs to the left of me, calves to the right" . Why oh why couldn't they follow with "stuck in the middle with ewe"?
