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 transport ministry plans to hike financial support for ride-hailing services involving multiple local governments and businesses in fiscal 2026 to aid communities struggling with insufficient bus and taxi services. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/23/japan-ride-sharing-financial-support/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #sharingeconomy #ridehailing
