Does your city not have a service where a small bus goes to your door? Here in Seattle you book a ride to where you need to go the day before and they come and pick you up. Heck, the small town I grew up in (2500 people) in the middle of nowhere had a similar service.
My current one does, but only goes to city limits, which isn’t very useful (my doctors and such, for example, are a city over). My prior one, you had to live within half a mile of a traditional bus stop. I was just out of the ‘service range’, at like 0.65ish miles away.
That sucks. The service here is done by the county so it’s pretty easy to get where you need to go. Or if you do not feel like booking a day in advance, they also have shuttle service to the light rail although that is less geared towards people with disabilities so it might not work for everyone.
Hopefully your region gets their heads out of their asses and starts providing basic services for people who need it.
I live in Oklahoma where they give two shits for public transportation and we have that service. I see the small bus in my small town taking people to Tulsa.
