This argument comes up every time. Walking or biking improvements can make life easier for people with disabilities too; especially those who don't own a car or whose disability precludes them from driving. Some examples I've seen in the last few weeks: an amputee using a bicycle as a mobility device to compensate for a missing leg and someone in a motorized wheel chair using a bike lane.

We already exempt them from various driving rules, such as parking restrictions. We already have special transport services just for them. No one is suggesting removing these.

I genuinely am just making that simple point. But it does follow that under such a scheme you couldn’t totally ban cars.
You need a system which has at least a rational level of support for people who are elderly, infirm, or otherwise physically disabled.
