any transit tips for a newly carless & physically disabled person?
north hollywood.
i frequently take the b line to work. due to disability, i occasionally have to drive to my b line stop, but i’m newly carless due to a car breakdown and a tight budget.
the main problem: from my apartment it is a 12-15 minute walk (moderate pace on a good day, much longer during a flareup) to my nearest bus and train stations. i do not have a place to keep a bike. i have osteoarthritis in one knee. some days, this walk is doable. some days, especially with summer weather coming up, the arthritis makes it excruciatingly painful even with the help of a cane.
i’m wondering if anyone has tips or insight? or maybe just some validation that i am not crazy and this shit is kind of hard? please do NOT suggest rideshare apps or i’ll lose my mind
ETA: gonna try metro micro out for my next commute, because walking to the service zone will be way less strenuous than walking to the subway. tysm for your help everyone <3
