I prefer to arrive at work/school/shops not sopping wet, and it sometimes rains.

I, personally, could bike or walk because the station would be particularly close to my residence. But, there are others in the county where to get to the closest station they'd be biking much further than they are currently healthy enough to accomplish.

Bikes are not a good option at this density either.

Raincoats! I have a nice yellow raincoat that folds up and inverts into its own pocket, turning into a little square you can tuck away in a bag or something. It's super convenient.

Okay but what if I’m sopping wet with sweat from the heat and I also smell bad now.

Unless the general stink of the any large concentration of humans will overpower it.

A car does it pretty well!

This is a very ablist view.

Ablest is when pro environment . Yeah no. It's easy to create exceptions for the small portion of the population who is fully incapable of biking. Less car dependency will allow those who can't drive to get around far more safely, actually leading to more mobility for people with issues like legal blindness that prevent them from driving but not prevent them from other multimodal forms of transit

"They'll get healthy enough" is an albist view, no matter what else you might believe in.
