There is a senior bus service but it is far from perfect. Better than nothing.

It would be hard for older people, of which I am one, to shop. There are rental scooters in town, but I can't possibly ride one of those! I had to think hard about your question. At first, it was a "I'd do it, no problem!" then, many people, in the US, really depend on cars. If I didn't have a car, I'd depend on delivery, so someone still needs to drive around town.

It's non-existent where I live and work is 12 miles away, so walking isn't really an option. I guess, in theory, biking would be, but not if there were still lots of cars on the road. <br />Danielle L Zecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492742250595537348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-34658640552787058542022-07-19T08:42:57.128-07:002022-07-19T08:42:57.128-07:00Some very selfish folks would keep their cars.
