Fair cop. Accessibility matters. We need to design for everyone who needs transport, not just a generic "average person" (ie not disabled).
Let's get creative here. So, a 3-wheeled electric mobility scooter with a trunk, and the option of being fully enclosed and out of the weather? People could drive them right to the door, even if they don't have an indoor garage.
Taxi + ride-hailing app services, run as platform co-ops in some places. But maybe councils could supply apps which aggregate rides from a range of vetted services? Including those that specialise in transporting the disabled?
It's akin to the way a competent council can supply public shopping areas, with a range of independently run food places All of which are inspected for anything that might poison you.

The ride-hailing app, like most others, could have a built in review and reputation system. But applied to *whole services*, not individual workers, who are only as good as the structure that hires, trains and manages them.
It strikes me that ActivityPub could used in the review system, but I wonder how that would work? Is the app connected to a central server, which syndicates reviews into the fediverse and accepts comments? What about the app using ActivityPub servers as the back end?
