And yet it's still the least efficient mode of transport.
What's more efficient?
In terms of getting to an exact location.
Public transportation only can get you near your target mostly. Not on point like a car, bike etc.
If someone can't walk a few blocks, that's on them. Airplanes don't get you exactly to the destination either. There's a tradeoff.
E: For all the "What about the elderly or disabled?" If they can't walk a few blocks and also can't afford a car or taxi/Uber, what should they do? Mobility devices exist. Handicap accessible buildings are federally required. Your argument is merely a thought terminating interruption. That problem can easily be addressed.
Rip disabled people.
