Your observations are part of what keeps me paying far too much rent in order to remain in a highly accessible community, particularly one where almost all of my services are a short walk or roll away from home, and major bus routes are a few steps away. I can currently drive to a wide range of places, but that's not going to last forever!

Sounds excellent! ❤

But beware … prior to the beginning of this pandemic I had easy access to two highly-reliable bus routes, one local and one regional, both linking to the #LRT.
Post-system change the single route now available is extraordinarily difficult to get to (not terribly far just a LOT of barriers from heavy traffic and insufficient crossing time for #disabled pedestrians), zero shelter from any elements, and also a bus that is so wildly NOT on time I've given up entirely and gone back to driving.
Previously, I'd been doing everything except grocery shopping and a small portion of my medical appointments via #transit.
Now? Zero. And zero it will remain without significant #accessibility re-tooling for route access.
Pretty sure hell will freeze over before the city cares about that 🙄
