No, it just happens that the city I’m talking about has a mayor that has done a bunch of traffic “reforms” for political reasons without thinking or professional guidance. She basically made half-hearted attempts to improve bike traffic (which were not really improvements, neither for bikers, nor for everyone else), didn’t do squat for public transport (except that the central bus station is now way worse, and she wants to “start planning an overhaul” in a few years), and the central traffic pipeline, the city ring, is now broken.

So how would you get a handicapped person to a specialized doctor in the center of a city with f-ed up public transport?
EDIT: The downvotes show me that you don’t have any meaningful answers to that real-world problem.
By investing in better public transport and by investing in public healthcare.
That would be nice, but with that town, this does not seem an option. The mayor is a bit … bonkers.
Mayors change far more easily and frequently than infrastructure.
Nobody really believes that she’ll survive the next election in office.
So, fucked up public transport is a necessity?
