Driving is a choice... Unless you're crippled...

Maybe you'd prefer I just vegetate at home (on whose dime?) instead of being employed.

Remote work is a reasonable possibility to consider, but having to start a new field, it makes sense to keep an office presence for training, mentoring, and other intangibles that come with human contact.

I like drive-thrus at restaurants, too.

Transportation subsidies for people who are crippled is a conversation worth having (and some public transportation systems actually do this), but subsidies for everyone just to benefit a small number of people who need it is silly.
I see wheelchair bound people on buses/trains/etc all the time.
